Default 2013 Front Driver Side Leak

I got into my truck the other morning after a rain and noticed a small puddle on the floor. It looked like it was leaking down the A pillar where the hood release is located. Any ideas would be appreciated. I tried to recreate the leak with a hose and was unable to see anything.

Usual leak suspects are SAT antenna and 3rd brake light. For years Ford sends brand new trucks out the factory door with those leak causes. Their engineers just can't figure it out.

For your case it is probably is the SAT antenna or even the windshield.

On the weather strip around the inner door, you can get some small windshield washer fluid hose and stuff it in the weather strip to make it more stout. An old body mans trick. To find where it's leaking you take a dollar bill and put it in between the door and the a pillar close the door on the dollar and pull the dollar gently if it pulls out without too much force you have a leak if it's snug you have no leak. Repeat all over the door from front to back but not the bottom. Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

Only put the wiper hose in the spot you find a gap or your door will make a pop noise when you open it. And it'll be harder to shut

Thanks for all the help. It turns out the leak is due to a clogged drain tube from the sun/moon roof.
