Hello,

This issues is likely due to a leaking windshield. It is probably leaking at the base of the windshield.
It is possible that part of the adhesive that keeps the windshield seal, has failed and allowing rainwater to enter the vehicle.

In order to fix this leak, you will have to remove the windshield. Then use appropriate adhesive (urethane) to seal it.
You will also need to get a replacement window seal.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
