Default Soft Top Leak?

So i had to do a photo inspection of the car for insurance yesterday, so the car had to be taken out of the garage and driven to work so i could go on my lunch break.

It of course rains all day, and when i go sit in the car, the passenger side floor board is wet....

It was only in the direct middle right after the brace bar, or "hump" on the passenger side, and didn't go up the firewall. So it's not coming threw the firewall, and its not directly dripping threw the roof, because the portion that was wet was more under the dash.

Probably running down the a pillar somewhere, there the door hinge and running into the carpet?

I don't have any tears in the top, so basically I'm asking where are the common spots for seals to leak on the passenger side.

Though mine was on the driver side, it leaked/dripped right where the first and second seals came together.
Water would also pool inside the first seal and drip under hard braking at the very front of the side seal.

they're all the side window seals (in my examples). The top breaks in two places, leaving three seperate rubber pieces (seals). First one at the front(breaks basically right in the middle of the window), second in the middle (right where the window starts to curve down) and the last being the vertical one at the back of the window.

My own names/descriptions for them, not official by any means

I was thinking more along the top of the windshield, but thanks for your input. I'll have to take the hose to it and see.... Maybe mine is the same situation
