I would check for leaks in the front windshield, or drip rail weatherstrip at the top of the door.
Yes, also the drip rail weatherstrip runs all the way down from the A-pillar to the rear door I would inspect that seal, insuring it’s ply able, and damaged.

I pulled the carpet back, and put black watercolor paint in a line around the foot well. If it leaks, the paint will run, and then you can locate the direction of the source. Apply paint higher in that general area/direction to track it to its source.
I have had the urethane under the front glass deteriorate, but it never leaked to the floor.

I went crazy on my ‘94 trying to find a leak like that. I finally put a garden hose running across the windshield for a few minutes and it started leaking inside. I found out the water was traveling down the hood release cable and back in through the driver side firewall where the grommet had popped out. I rtv’ed the grommet back in place to fix it.
I had a real weird leak on my 95 RM sedan. BIG leak - passenger side aft - I pealed back the carpet after one rain and I am NOT kidding, there was over an inch of water on the floorpan; I sucked it out with a wet-dry vac. And I found out where it was getting in when I noticed a bit of ******-cruddy corrosion along the bottom of the quarter window above the weatherstrip; I scrubbed it down and laid a small bead of black Right Stuff along the top of the quarter window bottom weatherstripping - leak fixed.
" - a bit of "white" -cruddy corrosion -" no idea why the board wouldn't print that......
