Have you also looked at the space under where the windshield washers come
out? There is a plenum under there that separates out most of the water
before it gets to the HVAC air intake. Any water that accumulates is
supposed to drain out through the side drains (down between fender and rear
side of wheel well). Trouble is that over time leaves and dirt tend to
accumulate, plugging up the drain. Over time, a new drain is created by the
rust holes that form from standing water...

If it's not too late, try to access the area and wash down with a garden
hose sprayer. Might need to snake out the drains. Use something plastic or
at least softer than metal wire so you don't scratch what's left of the
paint. I've also used a small diameter tube attached to my shop vac to get
into crevices.
