Just finished repairing the rusted out firewall sheet metal on my 1995 Pontiac Grand Am.
Both the driver's side and passenger side had completely rusted away, leaving a wide open space for water to enter the vehicle and soak the carpeting.
Had to remove all carpet, floor pan deadners, firewall deadner, center console, heater core and related dash parts in order to install new sheet metal. Not a fun job and lots of time spent.
The water on the floor when it rains can be fixed; usually water runs down the windshield under the wiper motor cover and into the blower housing. They sell a foam strip to detour the water away from it.
