Default Touchless car wash problem

I took my car to a touchless car wash last week, you know, the kind that uses the jets of water to clean the car instead of the big brushes... Anyway, I noticed as the jets were spraying my car, water started spraying into the passenger side footwell at the front, bottom corner of the passenger door.

Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do to stop it at the time and it didn't end up being that much water but I just felt helpless to watch. After a 2nd pass of the jets, I noticed my leg felt a little cold and wet. I looked down and my entire leg was soaked from where water had come in on the driver side!

I was really surprised! Is this a common problem for Crossfires? Keep in mind, I'm relative newbie to XFs. I just bought mine back in December. I also noticed some water on the rear bulkhead when I got the car home and had a chance to take a look at it. It looks like the door and window seals are in good shape, just not very effective.

Probably the drains up by the corner of the hood and the windshield wiper area are blocked. Leaves, tree junk can get down in there. You might want to start in that area.
