water in front pass side floorboard

I have a flood of water coming in but only during periods of heavy rain. I thought about the heater/ac not draining but it only does it after it rains heavy and i drive it a little. It is coming from the front so that eliminates the third brake light from the rear. It appears to be coming from almost under the dash and running towards the door sill..any ideas? I took the mat out because it lets enough in to soak the mat and puts a puddle in the center of the floorboard. I know it appears like I should be able to find this but it isn't as easy as it appears. I would appreciate any ideas. TIA, Larry

Most likely the seal on your third brake light on top the cab is leaking. The water from a leak there ends up on the pass side floor. Get a new gasket from the dealer or seal it up with silicone.

You can also check the drian hose from the A/C coil under the glove box and make sure it's not plugged and is going though the firewall.

I'n the cowling under the windshield were the wiper mechanism sits, there are drains in there. If those are plugged the water could/will fill in there and drain back into the cab. Just a thought.

the hose from the A/C coil could be a posibility, I'll check that tomorrow. No, Phox same windshield since new. The drains could be plugged, I never thought of that. I have some things to check tomorrow, thanks folks..
