Just found a swimming pool on my passanger seat!!! NO sunroof and window was definately up! Headlining and dash all dry, looks like heavy wind and rain forced water in through the seal as was blowing a hoolie here last night!
Fan heater in place to dry out, set very low and just warming up the car to help it all dry out.

It was the n/s sunroof tube that was disconnected and p ing water all over my electrics and carpet.
I removed the n/s 'A' post inner trim that covers the air bag, that let me into the drain tube, I pulled it up from behind the fuse box, I then removed a plastic plug from behind the outer air scoop, extended the tube so that it would reach out the hole where I previously removed the plug, fitted a grommet with some silicon just in case and bingo works great.
Might help

I just found mine was disconnected behind the fuse box, need some one with small hands to reach up behind all the wires and you will find the rubber grommet going through the inner wing. It just pushes back into it I think someone must have pulled it off when messing with electrics some time in the past.
