Default Help! Water on Driver Side carpet after it rains!

When ever it rains the carpet on the driver side is wet/soaked but only on the bottom, no moistness on the carpet behind the peddles or the walls made by the carpet, just on the bottom.

I checked the plugs on the bottom/outside of the car and they are fine, any other ideas what it may be?

The guy I bought it off of notified me of the leak and says he thinks it is coming from underneath the windshield wipers. If that might be the case, what would I be looking for when I remove the arms and the seals?

It did have a cracked windshield and I had it replaced, so it has been leaking before and after old and new windshield.

Make sure the a/c drain is not plugged with debris.

The drainage pipe is only on the passenger side isn't it? Plus this only happens when it rains.

If the drain is plugged the drivers side will get wet from the water backing up in the heater case. I have seen several cars that customers said they only get wet when it rains turn out to be plugged a/c drains. If it is indeed a leak during rain you can test it with a garden hose. Just have someone spray water over the car while you check the inside for a leak.

This video was just recorded during a small rainstorm that passed by. I pulled out the carpet a bit to locate exactly where it is dripping.
