Other possibilities...
Hood hinge pocket drains. Or, rusted out underneath the rear window gasket.

re:
I discovered this problem on my car just the other day. Unfortunately, mine is the worst case sceneraio : hole in the driver's floorpan.
I know its painful to think of, but you might want to check that as well. This week is "sheet metal" week for me as I'm going to patch it up best I can. Good luck! Patrick

Check for rust under the battery- that was one of my problems
I had up to 6 inches of water on both sides when it rained hard Culprit(s): Sunroof, front windshield seal, back windshield seal, battery tray, door drains. Good luck

Hopefully its just a missing drain plug.

Clear your DRAINS, at the sunroof, at the firewall, at the trunk
side storages under neath the carpet, etc. You can locate the drain outlets by looking for the little black rubber tipped things that sort of look like nipples. Find the entry points that exit at these nipple looking things under neath the car and run a rod or similar flexible object long enough to clear the drains (the sunroof drains are in the corners near the front and might be two in the rear corners, as well), so the water will drain to the ground, instead of backing up and flooding the inside of your car. Also, there is a drain opening at the fuel refill entry that lets the excess fuel drain to the ground at fill ups that sometimes become clogged.
