Both front vapor barriers are long gone, but as far as I know there is no water leaking from the fronts.

Second for door vapor barriers. In really heavy rains the doors will literally fill up and spill over into the rear floor boards. Also check the drains in the bottom of the doors to be sure they are clear of debris as that will allow the water to drain more quickly instead of filling the doors.
Also had this problem happen to my X, but only in really heavy downpours. Hasn't happened since cleaning the drains and resealing the vapor barrier.
