Default water leak

I just recently started getting a puddle on the floor of the driver's side front during steady rain. Never seemed to have this problem before and its not just a drip as I am getting almost a 1/2" of water on the floor. Doesn't seem like the t-tops because the headliner isn't wet. I'm having a hard time finding the leak. Any ideas??

look at where the t-top sits above the door window towards the front of the car. Theres a channel for water to run down the a-pillar. Mine has from time to time (only while driving mind you) leaked into the car. If your parked on a slant or angle, turn it around. The t-top seals have guides where water are supposed to run through and to the bottom. If one is obstructed, it runs into the car.

And do yourself a favor. Yank the carpet off the floor that side of the car, pull the drain plugs so that when it rains for 6 days this week you dont have a fish tank. personally id take the carpet out alltogether to avoid smells/rust.
