Water leak under the rear carpet (soaking)

While trying to fix my MINI's stereo, I discovered the rear carpet is socked wet!
I had the same problem in the past but with the front carpets (driver & passenger). Back then I had a professional take the carpet off, dry it, Dynamating the floor and then placing the carpet back + replacing the rubber.
Any one had this issue (from search results I noticed there are some threads about water leaking but each case is different.
Any advice?
Instead of taking off the whole carpet, I thought of cutting it near the back of the front seats - thus taking it off only at the back (not problem to take it off from the back).
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Good to know
I found it was the door rubber seals. I had to make sure they sit perfectly otherwise the water will slide in.
I thought of putting some RTV Silicone.
