What about the hood release grommet that fits into the body.Get under there with a flashlight and have someone spray the area with a hose and check.You may want to get under there and look around everywhere with a light while someone sprays all over that area.

The grommet for the hood release is right behind the e-brake on the firewall,inside the fender area.Drench the car good to check for the leak,like a heavy rain,give it a little time a watch close.If you need to,pull your kick panel off and check there as well.Good luck.Post your findings when you're done.

Ditto on the hood release grommet.  That's where mine was leaking from....  Changed it and now the carpet stays dry.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
