Get the Water Ingress Manual (if you don't have it, give me your mail address). It covers most points of possible water ingress, but unfortunately not all.
I had several tries to fix my troubles, which in the end and over the years turned out to be several unrelated issues. In your case I'd definitely check the windscreen seal. Any car glass specialist worth its salt will do that if you cannot do it yourself. The a/c is always an issue (glad I haven't got one). Check that the ducktails underneath are unblocked (you'll find them underneath the transmission tunnel).
In the lower corner of the windshield is an area where three or four sheets of metal meet. In typical British fashion, these don't meet exactly, so there is always a gap of sometimes considerable size, which is usually filled with, well, filler, and painted in the vehicle's colour and thus virtually invisible. In my case a little crack had developed over the years, invisible to the naked eye, but it let in considerable amount of moisture due to capillary action. I drilled it out and put new filler in, which solved the problem. Similarly, there are always some plugs which deteriorate with age and will present with similar features.
Good luck with getting your rolling bath tub dry again!
Cheers
