Assuming you mean the rear and not the front. Which is could be caused by a blocked pollen filter drain, by the heater matrix,

I had same problem, there was a hole in the floor of a car which I think used to hold a carpet bolt:

I sealed it with a load of araldite  :y

Usual culprit is the sunroof drains, this is where you say you don't have one. Next is the scuttle drain, behind the pollen filter.

Pollen filter drain, will cause the front passenger carpet to get wet & if left long enough or you park on a hill it may roll down.

Water in rear footwells, check underneath of car body  :y
