Where is water getting into my Golf?

My 2007 Volkswagen Golf is letting water in somehow and my rear passenger seat and floor are wet . It is now going to the front of the passenger seat. Also my rear driving seat floor is also wet. I just dont know where the water is coming from. Any ideas?

It might be coming in via the pollen filter because the bulkhead vent well drains are blocked. Or the waterproof membrane between the door structure and the door trim of one or more of the doors may have become cracked and perforated.
