Default New to the forum -- I have water coming in behind the glove box after it rains

I have a 03 QC OffRoad Ram -- Lately when it rains, I get water coming in down behind my glove box. Does anyone know what could cause this. When I put a hose to just the top of the hood it does the same thing, don't even have to get the windsheild wet.

Thanks!! Marty

I've got a similar problem. Recently I began to notice that my driver side rocker gets damp where the carpet meets the sill plate. This can be very bad in the future, but I can't tell for the life of me where the water is coming in.

Mine doesn't get damp, it looks like a waterfall, I love my truck, and this is the only problem I have ever had with it.

Bad seal on the window or firewall?????? Maybe from the passenger mirror...soaking in from the tube the wire run thru????
Is the warranty still good?

Look also up on the fire wall where the PCM (computer) is located on the passenger side and make sure the wire harness grommet hasn't come loose from the hole it runs through into the cabin area---had a similar problem on an earlier dakota I had do this. Yah, it was like a waterfall through there when it rained
