    has anyone had this issue or is it just me… over the past few weeks I noticed whenever it rains my driver side floor carpet is soaking wet… Last night it rained, so this morning before I got into my truck I lifted my driver side carpet and noticed a huge puddle of water again… Somehow water must be getting in, I just don't know where… it was dry last night before the rain, and after the rain overnight my carpet was soaked…

    Thanks so much for this info… I recently just replaced my driver side door handle and I remember removing the plastic shield that is behind my door panel the blocks any water coming in from the outside of the window… I will troubleshoot today when I get off of work and see if that's the issue... as of right now I have a pool underneath my feet when I drive the truck

    I'm 99% sure that's where I was getting water pushed back into the cab and making the passenger floor and up towards the firewall wet. Since I'm back in the desert there is little humidity for the ac to remove and dump. The drain hose was missing so I just put a larger diameter 12" length of hose that fit snug around that grommet nipple deal. I watched condensate draining out after I installed it. That was last summer and in Virginia with ridiculous humidity. Haven't had wet carpets since.

    I'll check this out. There's a missing grommet where the previous owner ran a power cable for an amplifier above the driver's side footwell too.

    Check the rubber fire wall plugs. I did some wiring to my truck and that was the problem

    I looked real quick and there appeared to be no obstructions but I dont know if it was a firewall drain or the AC drain? The one I found was on the firewall below the AC lines..is that considered the AC drain or fire wall?

    Ypu want to check the rubber plugs on the driver's side. One of mine had a small hole and water ran down the wheel well in to it and flood the driver side floor. The ac unit and drain are on the passage side. I had my ac drain clog. Just pull the curved pipe off the clean that and drain hole with pipe cleans.
