Soaked drivers carpet

5 days ago I noticed that my rear driver's floor carpet was soaked. I dried it out and it was fine for a few days, but today, soaked again. Now also wet in the front footwell under the heel mat.

The a/c drain appears to be working fine, as there's a steady stream of water coming out of the drain tube under the car when running with a/c on.

It's clear, odorless fluid so I don't think it's the heater core leaking coolant, plus that would be more focused on the front area not the rear.

I live in Florida and it's been pouring a lot recently. Any common entry points for rainwater?

Thanks!
