water leak
i have a 11 stx super cab ive been noticing moisture on the inside of my windshield after rain the other day it was really really cold and as i stepped inside my drivers floorboard crunched so i am assuming that there is a leak on the drivers side somewhere. has anyone had this issue? would love some help or ideas where this might be coming from thanks

Could be a bad windshield seal.

Either bad Windshield seal or satellite radio antennae.
-usually satellite antennae will cause a puddle/lead over passenger side... but if you are leaning, when parked, it is possible for the water to run the headliner down to the driver side.

Just takes a little work to repair the Sirius antenna youself with some RTV Silicone.
While making this repair, you should take a hard gander at your 3rd brake light.
Mine has filled with water 4 times so far after being repaired by FoMoCo 3 times with the same defective part.
If you notice debris like insects, dirt, pine needles, peices of leaves trapped in the edges of the light, more than likely, it's leaking water and will stain your headliner.
I checked mine, saw the debris then rocked my truck and saw water sloshing around behind the lens.
I finally replaced my 3rd brake light with a Recon LED which comes with a substantial gasket, unlike the Ford OE part. (I paid Ford $260 a pop 3 times, so I'm kinda stupid)

I had water on the driver side floorboard and traced it to coming down the pillar and across the headliner from the antennae. I, at the time, was parked on a lean with the driver side lower.

i just went out to my truck after last nights snow it was melting and noticed that there was a little ice droplet in my rear drivers side headliner i checked the 3rd brake light and there was no moisture at all in or around it so would that be the rear window seal or would be coming from that plastic peace pn top .would it make it all the way to the front floorboard
