Its really hard to pin-point where the problem is comeing from. Best thing to do is sit inside while someone water the car down. From there hopefully you can find where the leak is comeing from. If it is one of your weather seal going bad look in the classifieds section. There are currently two member who are parting out their car due to accident. Maybe you can pick up some parts from them.

I have the same problem with water dripping from the middle of the driver side A-Pillar, I removed the A-Pillar and ran the hose over car for about 15min, the moonroof drains were clear and free flowing and then I noticed a water leak coming between the black glue used to secure the windshield to the car. about 2 years ago I had the windshield replaced and went back to the shop to complain about it, the shop will replace the windshield free of charge since it still under warranty.
