Do you have a factory sunroof? If so check the drains in the front corners. I had a simular leak on the drivers side.

Oh, sorry I just noticed you have an OBS. They may be different.

unknown at this time.
I am thinking the cowl screws need to be removed and some sealant put on them. Just can't recall where it was brought up. I think it was GM.

Common issue like others said, try what they mentioned, if not then you need to remove that panel on the cowl and ré seal it

You replace the windshield recently? I had the same problem. Water would drip from the blower area and pool under the running board where the passenger door met the frame. Carpet would get all flooded out in the rain.

Tracked it down to the upper portion of the windshield where water was running down and around the seals. Had it resealed and no problems since.

This was do to a ****** install on a windshield.

I am having a similar issue but the leak is in both front floorboard areas. I looked at the cowl and there are a few issues. The rubber seal at the top of the cowl is missing and the mounting screws on both corners are there but the cowl is cracked and loose, more on the driver side. I'm assuming this could be my problem, but why would this allow water to the floorboard? And what is the easiest way to get the wipers off? I'm assuming mine have never been off so I don't want to mess up the spline but they are tight on there. Any help is appreciated!
