passenger carpet wet, typical causes?
 
Need some help please, my passenger carpet is getting wet and I am not having much luck finding source of water entry point. I took hose and sprayed down front outside area, could not see any water coming in, A/C seems to drip outside just fine.
Any ideas?

Sunroof drain clogged or drain tube is broken or missing. The front plastic cowl under the windshield is leaking. Heater core is leaking? You would be running hot, have no heat, and the windshield would be fogging up when running your defrosters.

Coors, has listed most of the common leaks, is it water or coolant? Might want to borrow a preasure tester to rule out the heater core.

Will do, I wonder if those pressure tester you can rent at Auto part stores work?

Feel the carpet with your hand, does it smell like coolant?

If you have an air compressor you can pressurize the system that way. However if you didn't start overheating and the windshield didn't fog it may not be your heater core but you need to rule it out. I replaced mine this past summer so I'll give you all the advice I can if that's the case.

You can also take some of the plastic junk off the passenger side of the console and see if you can see coolant.

yes, you should be able to rent one just make sure it have the proper adaptor for your recovery tank.

And back to AC drain, my D1 has one on each side, so if one is plugged, it could overflow while you still get some drip out the bottom. As for shop air to pressure test with, use a light hand. 15 PSI is all you need, the cap vents at 18 PSI.

What conditions is the D2 driving in?
Rain?

Is it parked on the driveway where a yard sprinkler is hitting it?

Are you going to the car wash?

Are teens using it?

Okay back to looking for source
 
I just cleaned out A/C drain tube, not much in there. I used a q tip like this post here -
READ THIS (If you have water leaking on your carpets) - Land Rover Forums : Land Rover and Range Rover Forum

Now on the roof looking, I have a full rack so I'm hoping I can inspect the hoses with it on.

As for leaks, it is water.
When it rains it soaks the passenger carpet side so I am guessing the passenger side hose may be clogged since the a/c drain tube was not full.

Just to answer jfall's questins, no Carwash, no sprinkler system hitting it, no teens driving it..

Sun roof drain hose? Should be able to run hose up there on roof and simulate water from rain. Sometimes angle at which truck is parked can have an impact.
