Dear all;
Got a real surprise !
After having driven under moderate rain for less than 15mn, I noticed lots of water at the passager side, front and back, under the carpet...
Any idea how it came there ?
I drive a 911 T 1973
Many thanks for your advices.

It could be front or rear screen. It could leak on some days and not others and also be dependant on the angle of how you're been parked. Sometimes these leaks are hard to trace and you need to water test specific areas to try and track where/how the water is getting in but it will nearly always be through the front or rear screen seals.
We helped with an 911 recently where it was impossible to tell how water was getting in, in the end the front screen was taken out to fit a new seal as a last resort and only at that point could you see evidence that it was indeed the screen seal

Hole in the floor - look inside the front wing towards the passenger footwell or under the car near the sill.
Just welded one up for a friend.

Also check the drain tube that runs from the heater blower down through the car bulkhead and out the floor at the bottom, it drains the water from the air vent near the screen down the plastic blower box and into the tube near the smugglers box.

I have been following your advices and had the joint changed... but my mechanic found the same hole as here....
I actually think that the water came via this LARGE hole... :
