    when it is dry out and no moisture at the door take it for a ride using the A/C for a while and then the Defroster for a while and check if there is any new water. If there is then check the condensation drain tubing. If not then at low pressure run the garden hose water over the windshield and see if that leaks water. Best of luck to you.

    I snaked the condensation drain in the engine bay so I think that isn’t the problem.

    the pics I took earlier, I was able to recreate the leak after hosing it down. Water seems to be coming down the floor panel you can look at my pics from earlier. And when I opened truck this morning, side of glovebox had water dripping down

    If you take off your a-pillar trim and have someone hose down the truck in the suspected area from the outside while you are inside, you will probably find where it’s leaking

    Then maybe its time to call the window glass company and nicely let them know it is leaking can they take a look at it. Or call your insurance agent and ask them what the next step would be, they are there to help you with insurance issues like this. Either way I would try to dry out the rug so it doesn't get worse with mold mildew type of thing, crack window open when weather permits. Best of luck to you.

    Be sure to mention the risk of mold when haggling for carpet. Yes it was old but it was old and DRY.

    Thank you so much.
    Gonna call and argue as much as I can. That they better pay for the new windshield.

    Also I poured baking soda all over passenger floorboard.

    will that dry it out or kill mold?

    weather is cold right now so drying it is hard
