Water saturating under driver side floor mat

I am having the same problem with my 2001 super crew 4x4. After a hard rain I find water on both passenger and driver floorboards. I was reading on another forum that the drains under the cowl between the windshield and the hood get plugged up and cause water to get under the dash as soon as I get a chance I am going to check them.

Third brake light leaks commonly make the headliner wet or you'll notice water running on the inside of the back glass,it will eventually get into the wire chase from the rear too I'm still trying to find the entrance point for my leak, if I pour water on the bottom corner of my windshield on the passenger side I can watch it run behind the kick panel by the fuse panel and into the wire chase. Ive siliconed and spray foamed a good bit of possible areas behind the battery and around the windshield clips but still have some water leaking in.... I've created a couple threads on this issue... It's getting better but not 100% leak free, yet! Still actively trying to solve it...

my third brake light is busted kind of bad. could this be causing water to get in my back two doors under my door panel? Its not a lot of water but enough to have beads of water on the plastic I dont see how but im tired of this issue. my back glass and head liner is always dry.

I wouldn't, but a lot will silicone around it.
Use 'Phenoseal' silicone caulking. It's the easiest to clean up and won't be a nightmare to remove when the bulb blows out.
Water is a bitch to chase. It could come from the tbl and absolutely end up in the wire chase, all the way to the front floor boards.
Good luck.

Just an update. I finally found even though I noticed the wet front floor boards it was the seal around the back window. It leaked so bad it got to the front floorboards. I had a windshield guy reseal it and I haven't had a drop of water in the cab anywhere. Hope this helps.
