The only solution is to pull the carpet, dry it out fully for about a week inside a warm ventilated space and use the time to find out where the water is coming from.
On my car the foam drip trays around the roof drains were punctured and leaking. I replaced those, the sound deadening under them and sealed the lot with spray rubber seal. It was a ton of work but I now have a dry Boxster.
The design around the rear drains sucks.....

I agree with the idea of looking at foam trays. They can puncture if the rods for the top ever popped loose. It took a few searches to find my tears. I sealed them with silicone sealant to eliminate the leaks. Mine were way up front, near the mounts for the top. The leak can also come from door/window area as noted by Particlewave. There is a box that can be used to seal the immobilizer. It's fair price and piece of mind for an expensive repair.
