It's leaking in around your cabin air filter. That's under the plastic windshield base, passenger side. You'll have to remove both wipers and the base (both sides, it's two parts)
The filter is held against the firewall in a "box" the leak is coming in around that box. I used silicon sealant all around the perimeter of that box and the leak hasn't been back in years.

Nates right...its the cabin air filter box, the sealant inside the box cracks and lets water in.

If you find it's not the cabin air filter, you may have the same problem I do. When water comes in the window seal and through the inside of the door it usually drains out the bottom. With the car on an angle though, the water catches the inside of the door and rolls down until it comes out under the panelling, over the sill, and into the car. I've seen the trickle coming over the sill, so I know this is the problem with mine. Both sides will do it, just depends on what angle i'm parked when it's raining. I've just conceded that there is little I can do about it and my floor panels will probably start rotting out before they should.

Don't you have multiple drain holes in that door. You may check to ensure all your drain holes aren't clogged. Unless you're at one heck of an angle, it shouldn't leak.

only way EVERY drain hold would be bypassed due to angle, you would be so steep that your E-brake wouldn't hold, either way..'
definitely look in to your door drains.

I see the same thing, there's a little trickle line of water running down the plastic trim under the door and onto the edge of the floormat, directly under the door speaker. If I park facing downhill it drips in, if I park facing uphill no problem.

Ray, I agree. But the problem isn't clogged drain holes, as all of them are clear and open. The problem simply seems to be due to the surface tension of water in that it will follow along a surface until there is something to redirect (or break) the path. In this case, the water is probably catching part of the window assembly and dripping along the inside of the door, until it drips to the bottom of the vapor barrier, and then drips through.
-At least that's how i traced it with a hose with panelling off of the door.
