Generally the front window seal is the culprit as Eric rightly pointed out however in some cases,water can also find it's way in via the radio antenna hole,running along the co-ax cable past the grommet behind the headilght and into the cabin. There is also another mystery egress point somewhere behind the grille unrelated to the antenna hole that I have seen occur on occasions,but have never managed to pinpoint the source of that one...
