When it is raining, I have water running in on the passenger side under the glove compartment. When in a right hand curve the water poors also on the drivers LEFT foot. The leak happens only when driving in the rain. If the car is parked, even in a heavy downpoor there is no water leak. How can I fix this problem?

Most likely it is a blocked drain from the air intake area. That is the area under the vents in front of the windscreen. Take a good look in there and clean out any old leaves etc. that may be there and look for a drain. Make sure the drain is clear. It may be cleared by using a little compressed air or string trimmer line. Be careful or have it done because if you overdo it you can damage the drain.
