Maybe try remove the black channel that runs along the bottom of the front window , then pull out any leaves and rubbish that has built up in there.
Although i haven't had this problem myself , it's a problem i've heard of with other cars before and cleaning the channel out usually fixes the problem so i was told. I think it has something to do with the leaves and dirt etc etc block up the drain holes and the water builds up and goes into the channels that catch the fresh air for the cabin / something like that anyway ?? . lol gl , cheers.

There are a few threads floating around somewhere with what the problem is. A crack somewhere, I can't remember though
