Excellent, detailed post, Simbob. Somebody else will likely come up with something more Boxster-specific, but I'll offer this.

When I had a similar problem with my VW, it turned out to be the windshield seal. It seems at least possible to me that driving it home in the rain didn't provide it with the same exposure it would have had out overnight, especially with the wipers running. I noticed you checked the door and window seals, but if you had a decent volume of water inside after just one night, the windshield is an excellent place to collect that.

Let us know what you find out?
