Check your drain and make sure there's no leafs built up blocking it causing the water to build up and drain where ever it can remember water follows the path of least resistance.

has the car ever been in a front end accident? Back when I had my jeep cherokee (notorious for leaky door seals) it would leak in through the top and bottom of the door seal. I couldn't even take it through a carwash or I'd be soaked with water. Check the seals around the door and the bottom as well. Also, the seal on the windshield might be bad and letting in water. Btw, are we talking about a heavy soak or just a little damp?

I agree with the previous posts.
Check to make sure that theres no dirt and other stuff built up in the drains. Also check the seals where the water is leaking from.

well, it is highly possible that because of the wreck it caused a misalignment in the door frame. Even if you can't see it and/or the door is fully functional, the slightest gap can cause a water leakage problem. Try eye balling the door against the door frame when it's shut and see if there are any gaps. I'm guessing it's more of a problem when it's parked than it is when you are driving.

Did you pull the carpet out? I had a problem where the dealer installed the factory alarm chirper wrong and water was getting in through the wiring harness doughnut. The water would trickle down the firewall under the carpet and would soak the under carpet padding.
