It shouldn't leak into the cab with any plastic scuttle parts missing. Have you checked carefully the 2# (2 front) A/C drain nipples underneath? If they don't leak off on the ground properly the drain tray overflows and saturates the carpet.

Yea my wife hates it too. But to answer your question off-road France, it is coming from somewhere up there because it's hitting the carpet and the upper portion of the rubber mat. I know it's not a door seal or anything and I can't find anything down that way

The only things I can think of apart from the windshield leaking is the A/C drain tray or the heater pipework to the heater matrix.

PS: The A/C drain tray and drain hose sometimes get blocked up from the drain nipples underneath. Take off the drain nipples and very carefully push a plastic covered curtain stretcher wire up the tube.

It's made for the job.

YES! that could be it. Slow coolant leak around the core. Blower not too strong to blow through the evaporator, clogged and ice build up then melts somewhere where cant catch drip.
But sorry Jason man, got to insert this image again. LOL

Cowl on mine is cracked in several place and no leaks noted. Does the debris collection area beneath plastic cowl drain properly? Why not try parking with DS lower and see if it still leaks. Are You using hose/H2O to look for leaks or waiting for rain? Pro WS installs known to leak.

X1 .............. good thinking Batman a hose should emit water onto the ground behind each front wheel via the scuttle drains.

Now Luckyjayb has two uses for his curtain stretchers, he can poke them down the scuttle drain holes

I think I have found the culprit. The body seam is cracked from it being 17 years old and I believe that's where the water is coming in from. I have hose tested it and that seems to be the issue. Have it all taken apart now and put new body seam sealer on and after that dried, I used flex seal on top of it!!!

Good one Luckyjayb, worth all the trouble in the end.

PS: we had all better take note for the future if water soaks the cab carpet.
