have you checked under the car? your floor boards may be rusted and maybe forming a hole. good luck i had the same problem with a nissan sentra but i sold it.

Default Coupe getting wet

I dont think its the molding on the door and the windows because its not getting wet from the windows. The side capret thats right by the door is not wet at all its only the floor on the drivers side the bump thats underneath the seat that hold the actual seat isnt wet either its only the carpet right on the floor....anywere higher than just the floor is dry. rust could be forming a whole on the floorboards but i looked not really good cuz i need to get it on a lift to actually see the whole floor boards underneath but i saw the drivers side (which is the one getting wet) and i couldnt see any wholes. theres just a plastic cap??? or something like that but it seemed perfectly in place when i tried taking it out to see if its loose.

if you take the sideskirt off , and if you remove the fenders you will seriosuly see about 3 rubber gromets covering up holes that go into the interior, that i likely to be your source of watter since the watter goes inbetween the fender along the chassis, and down to the ground


take off the splash shield, bumper, fender, and open the door youll see what im talking about, i had to replace those on my project car also

you can also be getting water from your firewall. A rubber grommet might be bad of have fallen out. Just something else to check. Also could be your windshield seal.
