05 FX4...wet floor

Hey everyone....having a problem with passenger side carpet getting wet...im in michigan so i know its not the a/c drain tube....havent had the a/c on in awhile....ive done some searches on here....most common problem was the third brake light leaking....mine is good there...headliner is dry...back seat is dry....and just as a precaution i pulled the third brake light off and ran a bead of silicone around the weather stripping.....a few people had mentioned something about one of the body seals behind the dash.....anyone by chance have fixed that leak b4 and maybe have a few pics of it? or if anyone has any other ideas on where else i should look for it leaking......thanks in advance...

its not the heater core....radiator is full....this is rain water....if it was coolant...it wouldnt be clear and it would have a nasty smell to go with it...

Mine was the third brake light and my headliner was never wet. It flows down through the rear pillars and therefor does not hit the headliner.. I just resealed it and dont have that issue anymore...

My passenger side carpet gets wet after I go through puddles. It just started happening at the end of last winter. I am still confused on how it is happening because I have gone through quite a bit of water before and it never happened... I just try to avoid puddles for now.

I'll give that a try and see if it fixes my wet carpet. Thanks for the info!

If you guys have moon roofs check the drains on that mine where both so clogged that I could not even find the drain holes at first.

Im in the same boat as you 07 fx4 wet pass side carpet when it rains. I pulled the carpet and found its leaking from somewhere on the firewall in the middle of the floorboard. But I cant figue out where,

It still could be a plugged A/C drain - the A/C does run when you use the defroster.

Where is the A/C drain on a 04 nbs? Is there an easy way to check it?
