Well there are a couple of ares that water can enter the car. What is the condition of your windshild? My 97 was pitted and I had it replaced (if yours is getting to the stage that it's hard to see because of the pits, you might to consider replacing it. Let the person know that you're getting water inside and to watch out for any probable cause for the water when their doing the work.
At the same time, I had my 95 Windstar's windshild pulled and left out so I could fix the rust that had gotten under the adhesive they use to hold in the windshild. There were two places (both 6 to 12 inches lone) on the top that the windshild wasn't even attached to the body because of the rust. Durring a hard rain, (I had to stop because I couldn't see) my feet were getting wet.
This is just one location that water could be getting in. I would also check to see if water flows out of the area just below the windshild where the wipers mount up and where the heater gets it's outside air. If this area's drain is pluged with crud, the water will build up and overflow in to the car's interior.
Just some thoughts.
