Default Water Issues/Leak! PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT and twice now I have noticed that after a heavy rain that on the back passenger side of my vehicle the floor is completely drenched; only the back passenger side. I am stumped as to what it could be. It has been a week since the last heavy rain has come through and my floor is still very soaked; so soaked infact that the floor mat would still drip water off of it when removing it from the car and also the sweater that my son left in the car you could wring the water out of it. I have checked the window each time to make sure it was closed all the way and it was closed and the seat was completely dry as well. My car is now starting to smell like mild dew because of this happening. I am not sure if anyone else has had this happen to them before. Please help!

Seems like a decent idea to wait till the next time it rains.. then go inside your car and figuring out where its getting in at. Or you could have someone dump buckets of water on it if ya wanted to "simulate" the conditions :P

The issue got resolved. They had told me the leak was coming from the front windshield. The plastic part, that the wiper blades sit on, seal came loose/undone/wore off and the water came in and was running down the side of the car through the door frame and finally puddling up on the floor board of the back passenger side.

Interesting issue, but the solution will probably help a lot of people!

I sure hope it does if this issue happens to come up with anyone else! My car was fixed the same day I brought it in. Thank God!

Yes, I did take it to the dealership in Columbus, Ga. Because none of their mechanics are actually trained on water leaks they have someone from Atlanta come down on Thursdays and look at the vehicles with water leaks. This person goes to all of the dealerships from what I understood.
