Mysterious leak!
Came home from vacation to find my driver side floor soaking wet. The rear is dry as far as I know. It seems to be sitting in the channel of the door as well where the wires are ran. Anyone have any issues similar to this? I would like to find a fix sooner than later to prevent any future problems.

I seen a vid on youtube where a guy had water dripping from his sissy bar handle on the passenger side.
turns out it was a bad seal on the sat radio antenna.
not sure what it's like on your truck, but just trying to toss an idea.
could be a bad firewall rubber boot too?

I spent the last year chasing my leak down. What i found to be the culprit was a combination of things. Windshield support clips and the long foam pieces that wedge into the fender. Ill try to find the threads I was on for this....ultimately the foam things that wedge into the inner fender spot up by the windshield were what fixed jt for good.

Actually you were on the thread recently where I posted pictures of those foam pieces that solved my leak. If you ever remove your fender wells this foam piece is behind it. It runs from the bottom of the fender where the mud flaps are installed and goes up to the wiper cowl. Mine was never wedged back into the fender by the wiper cowl far enough to block water from running down there and entering by the fuse panel area in the foot well(passenger side)
This makes sense to me because when I had my passenger side exhaust manifold replaced they removed the fender well along with the foam strip. Obviously it was not installed the way it was prior to the manifold repair. I noticed the water and wet carpet after I had my manifold repaired.
