    My 97 Tacoma gets a wet carpet on the drivers side only during a rain(usually a hard downpour).
    I have examined the molding and windshield seal best I can with nothing being apparent. Anyone else have this issue? or know of a likely culprit?

    There are several threads on this, even a couple very recently. Toyota has a TSB for the issue. Its a known problem.

    Currently taking off decals. New wiper blades and vent visors
    have somebody sit in the truck with a flashlight. You squirt the roof of the cab with a hose. That should show you quickly where its coming from. Ill bet from a body seam under the cowl. The seam sealer dries up over time. If thats the case then remove wiper arms and plastic piece and apply new body seam sealer on the cracks. This happened to me on an old jetta Ihad and took me forever to figure it out. Good luck!
