I'd just let it rain on it, and look for leaks....
The tough thing about many cabin leaks is learning just where the water
is coming in.
Where it is coming out will be rather evident. Water can run a long
ways behind upholstery or veneers, so the entry point into the cabin
may or may not be in the same place as the breach of the
superstructure.
Fortunately, the vast majority of cabin leaks occur around a fitting.
Rail stanchions, vents, hatches, etc. That makes it a bit easier to
begin to isolate the probable source points.
