   As joe stated. If its sunroof model then it's leaking there. Common fault. Or check the door rubber seal!!

   Sometimes it can come in through the windscreen rubber!

   Also check heater matrix isn't faulty/damaged.
   
   Also might be worth checking that it isn't coming through where the aerial mounts to the car, if it is leaking there a dab of silicone should do the job.

    Un-glue your headlining. you won't rip it and it's easy to glue back in.
    
    Alternatively you can just lift your carpet and drill some holes in the flor

    I would'nt worry about taking the headlining out, if you have a puddle in the footwell that water will evaporate and cause condensation on the roof.
    If its not getting in via the seals or around the scuttle, check the footwell heater outlet??
    Could well be dripping in....
