Does it have a sunroof? The drainage tubes from the sunroof surrounds can block. Open the sunroof and see if you can poke something flexible (old speedo cable is favourite) down them.
Does parking on a slope (even slight) make a difference? I have a car which I always park downhill if there's any chance of rain. Another is the reverse, I always park it facing up!

Door membranes are behind the door cards. If water is coming in from the fuse box then it's likely to be loads of cr@p in the scuttle drains down the side of the inner wing causing water to build up in the scuttle. If so remove the gunk out of the drains.
