Water Leaks, Drivers Side

I pulled my carpet out to swap to a new color. Found water under the drivers side.

I have no t-tops

What are some places you people have found water leaking in?

Looking for all suggestions before I install seat, and drive to car wash and have someone blast it while I look.

front of the door, where that triangle thing is, the weatherstripping sometimes tucks behind it and will let water in.

Thanks for tips. This gives me areas to specifically look at while blasting it.

Any others, I'm all ears

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
If you don't have AC, check to make sure the tar-like sealant around the driver side windshield wiper pivot is intact. If it's cracked or missing around the screws and post, water will leak past it and drip through the fresh air vent that camarogirl mentioned.

Thanks for the tips.

For future search reference. It was leaking at the upper rear of the window, between the seal and the body. In that 90 deg cornor.

Also leaking down the front door seal, and tracking in on the kick panel
