plus the likely culprit, the one big one that comes out of the bottom of the A/C plenum, accessible from the engine compartment, passenger side

What brand is the weatherstriping?
Wilcox weatherstrips are highly recommended, stay away from the cheap stuff that does not fit or is so hard you cannot close the doors without slamming them.
Installing weatherstrips is a fine art, search for weatherstripping 101 online for tips. If adhesive is used you need to trail fit before using the adhesive, I would bring it back and get the installer to redo it.
The A pillar weatherstrip has a drain hole, the targa sides are pushed onto the A pillar weatherstrip to seal.
They do say the vette gets them wet ....
Good luck
