    First the third brake light, then the shark fin and now this. There’s water leaking into the cab and collecting on the floor board (driver side only)
    I’ve triple checked my pinch welds, the area where wires pass through the fire wall and the windshield. All seems sealed. It appears to be coming from the center console and running down.

    The arrow in the picture is the highest point that is getting wet.
    Anyone have this issue before?

    That's a lot coming from the AC, Hmm have you checked all the rubber plugs under the cab?

    I gave up looking for leak sources in my cab. I just wear pool shoes and some board shorts when i drive my taco these days.

    Yes sir I have and just double checked. The only questionable rubber plug is in the passenger side where I ran the CB antenna and pop and lock wire through. But it’s completely dry on that side.
    And I noticed the A/C condensate drain is almost a steady stream at this point. It was parked less than 5 minutes before I took the picture in my last post.

    Perhaps the windshield isn’t fully sealed then. I’ve seen in another post where water was entering through the fresh air intake and leaking down into the have and out the blower motor housing. But that’s all on the passenger side.

    Did you pull the wipers and cowl to check drains under it. Had exact same problem (2nd gen). They where plugged and water was coming in the heater/ac box.
