There's a few common leakage points. The most common is the 3rd brake light. The other being a cracked pillar weld.

Could just be a bad door seal too I would think or possibly a clogged door drain.

Mine was the seal around the sliding rear window.

Tape off the exhaust vents at the bottom rear of your doors.
Turn the fan on high with all windows closed and spray suspect areas with soapy water.
You'll find the leak in an instant, probably the third brake light.

My 97' driver side floor gets wet in hard rain. Luckily i have washout interior. But i noticed that mine comes through the firewall so i think it runs under the hood from where my wipers are.

Big Red, the seal inbetween the hood and firewall is notorious for coming off.
Perhaps that's the problem.

Thanks infidel i will check into that. I have glanced at it a few times and i know it is torn in places so that is probably my problem.
