The sunroof drain maybe clogged up, I believe there is four hoses, or one on each corner to drain properly. Check that.. Blow some compressed air down each of them and see if you see any water that way, if you have the carpet still out of it.

So clean out around the wipers on the passenger side and it will be fixed? No need to drop the headliner?

is it raining outside when it happens?

the little rubber plugs on the floor board might be missing.
that made little pools of water in my car before.
