Default rain gets into closed locked car

my RX typically sits unattended during the week, locked in the driveway of my second home. if it has rained during the week the front passenger side floor will be soaked, and I can't figure out how the rain gets in. if a door or window or the sunroof wasn't closing properly I'd hear the wind noise on the highway, but I don't. anyone else have this issue?

The water gets in through the bolts of the roof rack, ask me how I know. I had the same issue, mine was in the rear. Cheapest fix is to seal around the base where the bolts go through. Will work for a while but will start to leak again eventually, then you need to re-seal again. It has worked for me.

Were there marks on your headliner...?
