Default Water in my car, how it got there i have no clue....

There is a **** ton of water that got into my car and basically flooded the driver side front and rear. I got a wet vac and have gotten most of it, but then i saw that there is more water underneath the carpet which my wet vac isnt getting. How would this be possible to do? Remove seats and lift carpet or call insurance and hope and pray. Thanks for the help. Please dont flame because it has already been one of those days, and now this is added.

Default any chance you left a window cracked?

Other than that, check the ruber around the door, a / b / c pilars.
