Water leak passenger and driver side, wet carpet

Our 2009 Sienna LE passenger side and driver side carpet are both soaked - with the passenger side wetter.

This has happened twice already - San Francisco bay area gets rain mostly in winter months.
The first time, I thought it must have been my fault: not closing the window.
But this time, I am pretty sure it is not the window.

-The leak is water, no sweet smell etc. The heater is working.
-We hardly used A/C, heater. Checked A/C drainage pipe from below, it was not blocked.
-There is no moonroof
-Windshield is factory (it is a 2009 model after all) :)

Is this kind of problem covered by warranty?

Thanks Family Buggy/Happy Camper!

The vehicle was parked outside but not near an irrigation system or something like that.
As for whether my fun-loving sons used it as a 'Sienna submarine' to sail in San Francisco bay,
I do not know yet. Maybe I should investigate.

Well, since Toyota did not say specifically I should drive the car indoors (in their manual),
I do not know what I did wrong.
Problem solved!

It rained again and there was leak again.
So I took the vehicle to a Toyota dealership.

Here is what they found:

"... ONLY PASS FRONT FRONT CARPET WET, REMOVED GLOVE BOX, RT A PILLAR MOLDING, PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, WATER TESTED CAR, FOUND WATER LEAKING FROM ANTENNA GROMMET WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, REINSTYALLED GROMMET, WATER TESTED AGAIN, STILL HAS SLIGHT LEAK, SEALED GROMMET WITH SEALER & REWATER CHECKED. OK NOW. VACUMNED WATER FROM CARPET & SPREAYED CARPET WITH LYSOL. REINSTALLED ALL PARTS REMOVED."

oh Toyota, tOyota, toYota ...
