If it only gets wet after an intense downpour, the likely reason is the rocker panels fill from the cowl vents and overflow into the floor pan at a rusty seam. If the rockers are clogged with leaves and needles they can't handle the volume coming in through the cowl.

It could be a windshield leak too, but they will make things dank even when the rain is not so heavy.

Sounds like it is time to pull out the chairs and the carpet, dry everything, and fish out the detritus in the rocker panels. Verify the source with the garden hose and a helper.
