This is only a problem on cars with fasteners that go through the firewall obviously. I've heard of this problem a lot with EF and EG hatches, so I'm assuming your car is probably subject to it also.
Nope, windshield is original. From what I've read in other forums, water may be leaking in through a hole behind the fender. I believe that's my best bet as of now.

The windows are working fine, I think I may have a good idea where the source is, but I don't have time right now to test it. Thanks for the input though!

I know my 89 CRX had that problem, came from the rear hatch supports.

I checked my trunk whenever the carpet was wet, but it was dry. I know that DC2s have a problem of trunks getting filled with water.
