Being a TI have you got a sunroof? Maybe the drain hose is blocked that runs down the A pillar or there may be a hole in it somewhere

Definitely check it out. There is one on each A pillar. If you tip water down them it should come out under the car around the front wheel area and hopefully not inside your car.

How is your windscreen seal? Check the bottom corners.

A couple of places to check.
1. Grill panel under windscreen (outside) is held on by some scrivets (or whatever they are called). I believe these sometimes these go walkabout especially if the windscreen has been replaced at some point. Make sure they are not missing, especially the end one on the passenger side which seals the hole that sits right above the air ducting intake.
2. Also make sure the A/C drain (on the firewall I think) is not blocked.
I hope this helps.

If it only happens when it rains it is a good chance it is the Scrivets in the Scuttle Panel.
If you reach up and the joiner in the duct is dripping then make that 95% chance
If the Windscreen has been replaced make it 100%
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Even the top part too.
The join of my rubber is at the top corner DS and I get water in the footwell, runs down under the trim of the A pillar onto the floor.
Killed me for weeks trying to find that leak as it was hidden behind the vinyl.
