A wet classic. Welcome to the club! I took the front carpet and sound insulation out before the winter as I have exactly the same issue.
Front sunroof drain come out on top of the inner wings under the decker panel. If you have a good look you can see the rubber tubes and often a big hole where the water has dripped onto to it for the last 20 years.
Equally the bulkhead under the decker panel will rust, infact all the front bulkhead will rust! Look for all the grommets that seal the electrics that pass through the bulkhead to. Those go missing.
There is another thread on this on (whisper it) another forum (LR4x4 I think) and someone goes into it quite well.
I bought a thing called Captain somethings leak cure which has helped around the rear screen but as the front is bonded in it shouldn't leak but I put plenty around there too just in case.
This is a job for the summer for me along with a bit of bodywork. In the mean time I just bail it out (its not that bad really) when it rains hard.
Not great though for a car that excels in inclement weather to let most of it in.
