If the door/window or roof was not partly open I would try to replicate the problem with a very heavy hose down to see where in water is coming in.

Check the door seal otherwise take it to the stealer for warranty repair.

There should be some signs where all that water came from... Check the window seals if there is any moisture or leak marks inside... Check the pano roof seals for any signs as well
