    hi everyone! So, I have a leak on my passenger side kick panel. I’ve checked the A/C hose and there was no clogging. I’ve replaced the cowling because one piece was missing and I thought that could of been the issue but it still leaks only when it rains. I finally took it to a Toyota dealership and they did a “water test” and told me that I needed a windshield replaced so I got that done and it’s leaking! Has anyone had this problem? If you have any suggestions or know what it could be I would love the help! Thank you! :)

    Do you have a roof rack?

    Did you buy the truck used? Peel out the black trim on the roof and make sure the tape is still over the inserts.

    Sorry for reviving an older thread, did you ever find the cause of this leak?

    My Tacoma is doing the exact same thing. Smh.
