What are the rain water leak points on a 1996 Dodge Ram?
We’ve been having heavy rain in Texas these past few days, she’s normally under a car port which is why I’m just noticing this issue. It’s not the AC/Heater box, it’s not a coolant leak, and it’s not the 3rd brake light switch. She is parked on an incline, which baffles me because the area affected is the passenger floorboard. Water should be moving away from the area, not towards it. The rest of the carpet seems dry, it’s only that particular spot. Thank you all in advance. I have posted a picture of the her on the incline for reference.
My driver side door seal started leaking. Not really all that fun to try and install those without knowing what you are doing, or the right tools, but probably not impossible.

The seals are new, and have been replaced per factory service manual specifications. Nothing else is wet, or damp besides the floor. No signs of water anywhere near or on the door panel. The door behind the panel is dry as well.

When my door desk leaked it showed no signs of a leak. If you are positive it's not the door seals there are only so many places water can get in.
Door boot (wires run through it)Antenna grommet (unlikely)
Next time it's soaked feel where the water is and where it goes. Try to pinpoint it, at least to a certain area

How do you mean? The only wet spots besides the floor are behind the rear seat. (Below the sliding rear window)
Ahhh, the mystery spot of eternal leak in Dodge pickups. The problem is in the rear window seal. You can use permatex black engine sealant n never know you plugged the hole. The seam where the side panel n the roof panels come together at the weather strip on the back window. There's your leak. Ask me how I know?!?

from the inside, or outside? I do notice that when I pressure wash her, there’s water along the inside of the window channel.

Are these the sealing points you are referring to?
