Need help. Pissed off. Every time it rains my driver side carpet floor is soaked. I've caulked the back glass, 3rd brake light, body joints, cab vents, door weather stripping.... WTH? Nothing unusual from underneath the truck. No sunroof. Haven't pulled back carpet yet.

Truck smells like rotten ass. This sucks.
:mad:

It could be a leaking windshield seal.

What you need to do is pull the trim pieces off (or at least loose) and have a friend hose the outside of the truck down. Then you can see where the water is coming from.

This was my the problem in my geo, buddy noticed there was a water trail on the inside of the dusty windshield, no cracks up there just a bad seal. Needed a new windshield anyway so did that and never leaked again.

Did you seal the cover for the wiring coming out of the cab to the door? My LLY poured from there, I thought door seal, then windshield then sunroof but it was that, take the plastic kick panel loose and spray around wire cover with a hose, bet it pours

I pulled my carpet up enough to cut a square out of the matting under it front and back, stuck a couple caps under the carpet to hold it up vacuumed matting and floor and let dry and reinstall. Makes it handy for the next leak.

X2 for this. I had the same issue aswell as a sunroof leak.
