Does it have a sunroof? If so, open it and use a length of stiff wire (bicycle brake cable or curtain wire, for example) to 'dyno-rod' the drain holes while you flush water down them to clean out any crud.

I'd check the sill drain slots before doing that!

Yes, best to check those too, and the door drain holes while you're at it!
