Although they get wet there anyway I'd think it could be either your door rubbers to blame or the plastic screws holding on the windscreen cowling might be leaking onto the bulkhead and its finding its way in through there. Regarding the rubbers make sure the join is on the step at the bottom otherwise they leak.

Silly thing have you checked your heater systed as on my dads old van i sprang a leak behind the black centre consul in the middle and flooded the floor but only when he had the heater up high.
so he stuck a bottle of radweld in and it stoped it.
