If you think that waters getting there then you must have corrosion or holes in those areas.
Check at the battery tray and the other side aswell for corrosion and get it treated if there is.

Do the heaters still work or have they lost a lot of heat?
If so then it's a cracked pipe (or pipes) on the heater matrix which is located in the middle of the dash just above the centre console.

If its raining and youve got a hole then obviously itll make it more wet!!
Check behind your strut tops, if youve got a hole somewhere just weld it up.
