WET carpets driver and passenger footwell. SMELLS BAD

Just had my windshield replaed for this, like 15 minutes ago the glass guy left. While looking at the bare opening it's obvious where the water comes and that spot was gross on my car, all green and slimy. You also NEED to get the carpets out and get 'em drying NOW. The longer you wait the hard it will be to get that smell out. You have my sympathy as I am just finishing up this very project which include fiberglassing a patch into my floorboards behind the drivers seat. Tomorrow the carpets go back in. There are other causes of water in your cabin as others have mentioned but they're all easier to diagnose with the carpet somewhere else. Once the carpet is out you can remove the plastic plugs on the panel below the doors (rocker panel) and inspect that for water and rust. You'll be able to see the track that some wiring takes which is where the water flows and follow the puddle if it stops at the rocker panel, that may be your culprit, if it goes tot he firewall, probably the glass. The hose test is the best. With my car it was obvious it was the windshield, crack that went below the seal. Water was also visible inside when looking through the windshield. Look very closely all over and you shold be able to find it.

Good Luck
