Need advice..... water inside XJ!!!!

OK,
So I guess I need to address my water issue. This is on a 89 XJ. I thought my windshield just leaked from the top, which I thought I would reseal when it gets warmer, but now I think I have other "issues"

I drove the car to work, dried off the inside of the windshield, since there was water all over it, and ran the defroster, window was clear when I got to work.

So after the car sitting in the sun for a few hours, the windshield was all wet again on the inside. I know that the condensation must be from water inside, so I must have water coming in some where!!! The floors don't seem wet, so I thought I would ask the experts here on where I should look for "major" water leaks. I am aware that a XJ is not the greatest sealed vehicle, but my 90 does not have the same issues.

Any advice on where to start and which direction to go would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob:laugh2:

Check the floor in the cargo area and under the back seat. I've had to adjust my doors and hatch twice now, they do sag and wear in.
Also a good idea to check the drains for the door bottoms and the rear bottom quarter panels.
There is also a drain for the heater inlet, passengers side kick panel. If the drain plugs the inlet box can fill and overflow.

I forgot about the rear quarter pocket drains, my first indication was a sloshing noise
