OK, I pulled back the carpet and found one 1/2" +/- tube running out the bottom. I disconnected it and blew air in both directions without resistance. I don't see any other drains in this area.

OK, so i poured water down the moonroof drain and it poured right out under the car where it is supposed to. Also poured water in the cowl drain and the air intake at the cowl, both drained out underneath. I then took the hose and sprayed all around the windshield seal, drains, doors, door windows, mirrors, moonroof all without a drop of water coming inside.

Is there anyway that water could have splashed up from running through puddles? I couldn't find anywhere that looks like it could get in from under the car. Maybe it was a fluke circumstance...

check the AC housing for a clear drain and check the pollen filter housing for a good seal at the bottom.

Other than that you will have to wait until it happens again.
