Have you caulked up/checked the rivetnuts in the fiberglass,each 
rivitnut that was installed,was basically a hole in the body,if any 
of the bolts on the top of the fenders are loose or missing(that is a 
hollow area where the wiring harness for the lights pass thru),and 
leads directly to the drivers footwell,that area where the top of the 
fender bolts to is also a channel area for rainwater,so that if there 
is any kind of problem(cracked fiberglass,bad or missing 
rivitnut,poor fiberglass repair,ect,ect,then the chances are that the 
water might be entering the footwell, where the harness exits the 
passenger compartment(you will see a big hole in the verticle part ot 
the drivers side footwell,well up the footwell,Hope this helps.
