Pretty much everyone has had it before. It could be the doors, or various other places.
Easiest answer is to ditch the carpet, get some rubber mats. Pretty cheap from Paddock.

Oh dear I guess you reach the end of the vehicle life.
1. Have suffered from from wet knee syndrome.
1 a. Have you forgotten to remember the Landrover code to wear full weather gear preferably scuba gear.
1 b. Have you removed the carpet to check out the amount of water ingress.
1 c. Have you checked the rubber seal around the door frame.
1 d. Have you checked the desert air-conditioning system ie manual vents rubber seal.
1 e. Have you checked the floor for rusty or crusty seams.
1 f. Have you checked the spare box under seat for a pinned doll of you from the misses with a note of your devotion to the Landrover than her him it.
1 g. Welcome to being a rain god with cherubs adorning your journeys.

Oh how I miss these issues and other similar delights associated with the ownership of a 90 or 110.....
The best one on mine was, you'd get in and drive off, all was okay until the first downhill when a stream of water would wee onto my knee from the top of the door at the front.
The stream would last as long as, well, a normal wee.
Certainly long enough to soak my jeans

I really recommend removing the roof and converting to a soft top/tilt. Seriously, I get absolutely no leaks on mine. The only changes I made from std are 1. fitting a strip of 10mm thick neoprene closed cell foam between the top of windscreen to the tilt frame, 2. using original Land Rover door seals, and 3. after some good research I did not fit std sill to door seals - instead I fitted later model lower door seals. This results in superb water tightness, though I'm the time spent adjusting the sills and covers also helps. The only thing I do to the tilt is once per year give it a steam clean both sides, dry and treat with a few coats of Fabsil.
I am sure you have all heard this joke?
LR engineer on hols in japan, goes on Toyota factory tour, sees dead cat in a test car, Toyota engineers explain to him it is how they test the cars air tightness by leaving cat in car overnight, if its dead in the morning then the test is a success.
So LR engineer back home decides to try the same test, comes back in next day, only to find the cat has gone
