I have a 1997 GMC 1500 series pickup with A/C installed. For the past couple
of months there has been water on the rubber floor mat on the passenger side
when it rains.
I have not used the A/C as it is winter here in NJ so this is not
condensation. It appears like there is a leak. I took the outside plastic
trim grill off the air intake around the windshield wipers but could see
nothing out of order.
Is this a common problem? Any one experience similar problems? Any
speculation as to what is going on and how to fix it?
TIA Tim

your Windshield is leaking MAYBE !!
Have you ever had the Windshield Replaced? If So They Scratch The paint
under or Near the Seal, and it RUSTS.. So now u may have a RUST HOLE !!!

Yes window was replaced about 3 years ago. Diamond Auto Glass did the job.
What do you meant they "scratch the paint"? I could see no rust or holes
under the plastic trim piece over the air intake at the windshield wipers.
Since it seems to be coming from the heater box/fan area I assume that is
where the leak would be. Is there any way it could be a hole on the side or
top of the windshield frame and traveling through the frame to get into the
heater area?
