Try a water test, pour water on the roof/hood area and see where it flows

Did the roof where the antenna is and the corner of the windshield and got nothing. Will try the hood and the door next

Another quick fix if you didn't have this issue prior to running these wires. Place a drip loop in the wires just prior to entering the firewall if possible. This way the water will follow the loop and drip off the wire before entering the cab because the wires run "up" into the firewall.

Yeah ended up being the wires. It ran off the lip of the wiper cowl down onto the wires then in through the grommet. I took one of the wires out that went to my amplifier and pushed the grommet it best I could. I think it's completely sealed so I just put a little silicone around the wire loom to be sure. We'll see tomorrow if that works cuz I think it's supposed to rain tonight again.
