Wet Passenger Floorboard?
Do you have any wires/hoses running from your interior through the grommet hole above your passenger side kick panel? Ya know the one that comes out inside the fender? I ran my EGT gauge wiring and boost pipe for my Unichip through there to the engine bay and didn't modify the grommet to seal the hole back up and got major leakage everytime it rained. I guess water would run down the windshield, down the cowl and would run down the wires/hose and then drip right in the passenger footwell. Couldn't believe how much came in till I saw it streaming in when I was in a rain storm on the highway! I just ended up cutting a slit half way through the grommet and stuffed the wires and hose in the slit and reinstalled the grommet. Hasn't leaked at all since I did that.
Had the same problem last winter.
Good thing I got Vertical Doors.
Took off the fenders, and found out that the draining tube from te windows maybe? the one that you see come out right as you remove the fender....
Well it was either cloged (sp?) or whatever.... so, I pulled it out a bit. PROBLEM SOLVED FOR ME.
Before that... same thing. Raining = wet passanger floor.

Take your car to a "Do-It-Yourself" carwash and have a friend of yours look all around the car to see "exactly where the water is coming from and go from there. you may need to pull off panels and such to check also. spray anywhere that you think water can sneak in.
this might be easy... it can be a couple of things.. most likely heater related. I am betting that it is either a bad seal where the heater sucks outside air through the cowl.. or if you have a sunroof, the tube that drains the opening has come loose and water is running down the inside of the pillar to the floor.

sunroof drain hose goes from all four corners of the sunroof through the corner pillars and down to near the tire. that's probly what's leaking. I know from mine, it's leaking at the heater. The water is comming in through the passenger fresh air inlet and not draining out, just going through at a carwash. not a good thing, but until it becomes a problem, it's not a problem.
