Default Drivers side water leak

I am new and wanted to see if anyone has had this problem. When it rains my drivers side floor (front & back) is getting soaked. I have looked and looked for a leak and cant find nothing, not no water trails on any of my panels or seat. I have had someone inside the car while i spray it with a water hose and cant find anything. Other than my door gets full real quick so the water comes in from the seal that presses against the window but my passenser side does the same thing. I have already got to replace my carpet because of this problem so if anyone can help or give me suggestions please let me know. Thanks

Sorry I have a 04 Civic Ex 2door. I do have a sunroof. The honda place told me that would probably be my problem but wanted $135 to check it.

Probably the sunroof drain hose has become detached. Put your head near the pedals and look at the sidewall of the car (left side). You should see the drain hose. If it's still attached and not plugged up then find where it comes out the bottom of the car and see if it's plugged. You have 4- 1 down each A pillar and 2 down each C pillar.

Here a pic of what I'm talking about:

I check that and I put silicone around the hose just to make sure that was not my problem. i will check this again just to be on the safe side. Any more suggestions? I am wanting to try to find this before winter sits in.

Next time it gets wet pull all the covers on the pillars to check for water. Also, check and replace any worn gaskets (doors, windows, trunk, sunroof, etc.) or grommets (in the firwall).

Maybe firewall grommet(s) or a leak in or around the cowl (piece between the hood and windshield).
