Where are you located, and where has the car lived its life? Because rust-caused leaks are by far the most likely source of water getting into the interior. Or badly-sealed windshields.
One possible route is from the roof down behind the rubber windshield gasket where it runs down the sides. This needs to be sealed to the body with soft urethane, and may not be. Once in behind there it can have caused rust out of sight in the steel of the windshield frame, or simply be climbing around the gasket lip and down into the car.
It can also creep around the glass itself at the rubber gasket, then up inside and down, also if not enough urethane sealer was used or if gasket and sealer have gotten old and loosened up.
On one of my cars, otherwise looking solid, there was a place in the front wheel wells, down low at each side at the rear, where water that flows down off the upper body passes. It had eaten through the steel by rusting, even tho the undercoating looked at first glance to be sound and unbroken. Push on it and it crunched, and then cracked away.
Not to mention sources at rear of car ahead of rear wheels, into interior and down the floor pan to the front, which sits lower.
Just saying.
