Exclamation Water on driver side of car 3.2tl

There is water on the drivers side of my car on sunny days its is just damp i think is is from the ac plugg maybe being clogged but i have noticed on rainy days the car has so much water on the drivers side that its leaks to the back seat floorboard area of the drivers side. Can anyone help

the ac vent drain is on the passenger side
Is the car low on coolant in the res bottle? or at the radiator itself?
Does the fluid in the car have a funny sickly sweet smell--or it seems to be water?
Are you going thru a pressure car wash just before this happens?
Or washing the car by hand?

Look under the bottem edge of the door- there are holes for the water to drain out of the doors interior!,
Some water gets past the rubber seal to the glass--
Poke the holes clean, check the other ones, each door and the sunroof unk have drains in the rail, you make have to look closely- iirc there is something for the trunk- now I will have to check my car as part of its pre-winter service

A coat hanger or thin sturdy piece of wire- welding rod- whatever- works to clean the holes- if it seems really bad, take the shop vac to the opening to suck out loosened crud
