Very Unusual Water Leak.....HELP!!

Ok so I have a water leak today in all the rain that I think is very unusual. I have my visors out right now because I redid my headliner and they are being recovered. Well in the rain today I was driving and water started coming into the car through the holes that the visors normally fill in. Now I guess the visors would keep it from leaking into the car, but I don't think water should be in there at all. Just to further clarify, it's the metal that runs the length of the top of the windshield.
Any ideas?....it's a t-top car if that helps.

its probably leaking in from the t-tops and getting into the area above the visors. Thats a common spot to get water in, so i hear. It might be leaking in from the long narrow balck center trim plate that sits in between the two t-tops. Try sealing around the seam between the trim plate and the roof. The crevace there between teh two sometimes leaks. Also check to make sure nothing has rusted through and the seals are nice and pliable.

Yeah it's possible that the water could be leaking where the t-bar is. There is nothing rusted through and the seals are brand new. I removed the old seals when I had the car repainted so I know this for a fact.
