Question Water Under Driver's Seat Carpet

Howdy. (sorry if this has been already asked, I searched but couldn't find anything). Anyway, there's a nice little puddle of water under the carpet behind the drivers side seat. I have no idea where it is coming from or how to fix it. A couple of ideas that come to mind are A/C and rain leaking in from somewhere. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Well your profile doesn't say if you have a convertible with a targa top or a coupe with a sunroof.

Both the convertible & coupe have drain holes for the targa top / sunroof. Are you sure these aren't clogged. Also make sure the drain holes in the coupe's hatchback aren't clogged.

Make sure it's not coolant, if it's coolant it could be your heater core (which sucks)

The drains in the hatch are clear. Are there ones in the sunroof at all? I checked around it but couldn't find any. Oh, and it's not the coolant. It looks like it's just rain water.
I noticed there's a little plug under the carpet that leads straight through. It was loose but it didn't seem like it would have let all that much water through. Anyway, I'm just going to dry it all out and hope for the best. Thanks for the suggestions.
