Default 97 Honda Water in driver side floor

Each time it rains the driver side on the floor is complete wet. I have applied caulking at the base of the complete lower winsheld. At the winsheld motor I have drilled a hole in the lower area at the fire wall. Even when the car is parked it still floods. All around the sides of the carpet don't seam to be wet. I have used air pressure to blow out the drains for the sun roof. The car is a 1997 Honda Accord EX. I need help on this one.

Have you identified from where exactly the water is coming in from. unless you nail that it will not be possible to stop the leak

have you checked if it comes from a hole around the pedals aiming towards the engine, and when it rains, the water from the wind shield gets redirected through a tube and it happens to fall right into the "hole" i think you have around there....

EDIT: even i got confused after reading my own post... i meant to look for a hole near the pedal area. some cars have a little plastic tube that runs through the area where the rain from the windshield is collected and it takes the rain to the bottom of the car. might be a hole near that place...

have a friend inside the car, get a water hose and start ,, do it 1 side at a time and 1 area at a time..........
I have seen the windshield leak when not properly sealed .......
another trick is to use duct-tape ,, tape around the windshield area and see if that helps locate the leak,,,,,,,,,And you said the the roof drain tubes are clear correct ??

windows and door seals all ok ??

You used air pressure to blow out the sunroof tubes? Maybe they've disconnected from where they belong at the bottom?

Pour some water into the 'gutter' around the sunroof, & make sure it drains onto the ground.
