well, the drivers side of the carpet will once in awhile be completely soaked to where you will see that the carpet is wet. stick my hand under it and that foam is saturated. i don't think it's the a/c cause i rarely run it. ran it twice this year, so i dont think it's my drain tube. and if it's my heater core, wouldn't you notice the sweet smell of the coolant and a slightly hotter engine? i mean i have wrung out that part of the carpet and it comes out as clear water. the pad isn't discolored under the carpet and the coolant is green. im at a loss, what do you guys think?

I kinda have the same problem, except with mine I don't even notice it, it stays under the carpet. I noticed this when I was working on the dashboard and wiring and when I lifted the carpet there was just a puddle of water. I didn't think much about it; I just figured it was water from winter and stuff that just soaked through.

The only thing that could leak in that area that isn't obvious is your windshield seal. Mix some dish soap & water solution and slowly pour around windshield area, check for foam when you pad down your carpet.otherwise check your lower door seal. Splash
