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...
