Default Water in the interior

I am having a problem with water pooling in my passenger rear floor after heavy rain. Has anyone had this problem and has anyone found a fix? I am not totally sure where the leak is. I don't think it's coming from the t-tops.

Does it happen only if you drive the car in rain, or does it happen if the car just sits in rain?

If it isn't the t-tops, your only other options I can think of are the top corner of the passenger window (which is a weak seal spot IMO) or the top of the hatch. If it happens from driving in the rain, there is a grommet under the carpet in the rear passenger foot area. I would think you would easily notice a leak that big from the window or hatch...

Seems like an easy test would be to bust out your hose and spray it and look for drips, no?

Doesn't happen when I drive in the rain only when the car sits and there is heavy rain. Doesn't seem to be coming from any obvious sources but when it happens there is about 1/4 in or more of standing water in the rear floor in front of the seat.
