Sounds like your rain rail is dead , if its not too bad you can fix it with ducktape removethe carpet off the rear deck (held on by plastic poppers) and you should see where abouts along the back its coming in , also clean the drain tubes behind the seat belt towers , use something flexy and dont poke too hard .

From that description either your hood is leaking (but you'd spot that) or the drain holes directly behing the seatbelt pillars are blocked solid allowing water to overflow into the car.

They're quite large holes (similat to television aerial wire size) and sit in a little well covered by a little flap of carpet to collect the water coming off the roof.

Try unblocking them but if you decide to run some wire through them make sure it's flexible and if it gets stuck don't force it as the drain tubes are plastic and will become dislodged if you do - they're a pain to put back on!

The aforementioned television aerial wire is pretty good at the job, just make sure there are no sharp bits sticking out of the end that could snag the tubes.
