In addition to suggestions, any of the grommets or seals in the firewall/bulkhead can leak. Sometimes the culprit can only be found by pulling carpet back, and using a garden hose or sprinkler under the car to find the leak.
Possibilities include: Steering column boot at firewall, Shift rod boot at firewall, vacuum hose and speedo cable gaskets in firewall, gasket around main bulkhead electrical plugs behind fusebox(the worst to fix), gasket around door, plugged drain holes in bottom of door.
Pray for clogged sunroof drains.
And, dry out the rubber mats. A trick is to cut the wet section out and dry it outside, saves pulling the whole carpet if only the driver's side is affected. Inside the car under the carpet it can take months to dry out.
