I have seen a lot of rear windows in the 2nd gens leak. Then it runs right up onto the front floorboards and makes a mess.

Rear window channel if a sliding model, 3rd hi mount brake light also a culprit. Lastly, ac/ condenser heater box.

The rear window channel can be pressure washed out at the corners to clear the little drain holes, the brake light needs to be pulled and re sealed. The gaskets are no longer available separately, so I use marine grade adhesive with silicone and re seal about every 3 years...

The ac drain points right at the rear of the right front tire thru a split in the fenderwell. Someone stated they put a turn down heater hose on it to deflect road wind from blowing straight in. I thought, Yeah, right. I put a IIRC 5/8" heater hose elbow on it I found at NAPA (thanks guys!) and I have had a dry floor for the last 6 months......

Some ideas, anyway.
