Default Water in carpet driver side

I'm facing a new problem. Actually rainy in my area and i've notice lot of water in the carpet. No drops come from the dash. It look like to come from wiper area. But maybe it could come from the windshield. Any suggestions where to check or what i can do ??

hmm...check the seal around the windshield by having someone sit in the driver's seat while you spray it from the outside with a hose, or vice-versa i guess. if it's bad, im not sure what to do about it...maybe a thin layer of silicone? but, at least you'll know what it is.

honestly, that makes more sense, because if it's on the floorboard, the front driver side seal may be the culprit. I'd check that also...

tail lights take them out put silicone on the gasket then put it back on had it for a month and then finally figured out what it was and it was the stock taillights. check your spare tire well if its wet then its the taillights

Just play shelock holmes. Track the water. Yep it pools on the floorboard. Then time to check if there is an obvious trail to it. Nope (Just a wet spot and dry all the way around), then pull the seats and carpet up and see is there is a trail under the carpet and sound insulation that is providing a path. No, the look for a hole under there that is the problem.

If you have a trail at any point in this then keep tracking up to the source. Yes spraying(Constant stream with a hose) the area is a very valid way to find a leak. Might be a leaky wind shield gasket, door gasket. Plugged drain hole backing up water in fender or rocker panel overflowing into the floor. So keep looking.

Best of luck
