Default Passenger side carpet wet after rain storms

It rained, my windows were up, and this isn't the first time... the carpet on my passenger side floor board is soaked. It's not leaking through the t-tops and dripping down, it's coming from somewhere else. I don't even know where to begin looking!

Take the cowl off between the w/s and the hood have someone set in the car. While someone else sprays the car with water from the outside. You will find the leak..

Thanks for the advice. I didn't have a clue where to even start looking for a leak like this.

The same thing happened to me. With mine it was the passenger side rubber grommet wasn't on all the way since I had to put a power wire from my amp in my trunk to the battery and in the process I hadn't replaced the grommet totally. I would look there first.

Could be the missing grommet in the firewall. Just checked it out. Did you just get another grommet and run the wires through there again? Pretty sure that'd be a huge pain. I'm thinking there has to be an easier way.

I'll fix that and see if I can find any other leaks too.
