There are two 'plugs' in the floor of the rear footwells. They rust away and water gets in. Lift the rear of the carpet and have a look, or from under car.

If its sunroof drains then under the rear bench seat will be wet also. Pull it up and check.

Can be front jacking points also, if the front is wet too.
