Carpet wet on passenger side is likely a plugged drain for the a/c evaporator. It should drain on the ground out a small, short rubber hose sticking out of bulkhead on pass side. Or a poorly seated grommet for the evaporator drain. Also check the rear washer hose if it goes through the cowl area to the back wiper.

1999 Mazda Bounty. I have a leaky drivers door when it pours the carpet gets wet.

Doors don't normally leak as they have seals all around the edge, and the glass, unless yours are missing . Do you have a sunroof in it? Drains block or the pipes come unattached.

Or you have a blocked drain in front of the windscreen.

Or you have a hole in the floor.

Or the AC Drain is blocked.

Classic sign of a blocked Moonroof / Sunroof drain.

and also a coolant leak from the heater suggested here as well as the A/C drain. The vehicles really are a heap!

57 reg Ford Focus Wet carpets on the drivers side. Looks as if water comes down the bulkhead. Seems to get in below wipers Any ideas please

Sounds like you have a plugged heater vent tube, this is on the lower passinger's side firewall. You can usually clean the junk out with a small wire, carfull, water will pour out !

2007 Ford Edge, Blocked condensation drain

Praise be to God!! My ford edge had a blocked condensation drain. We found the drain hose on the driver side by the gas petal, Peal the carpet and you will see the hose, pull the black hose apart with a screw driver and attach a shop vac to the hose and it will unpluged and pull all the water out. Everyone kept telling us the wrong location.

Passenger side carpet wet after it rains in a 2003 Acura MDX

check the bulkhead area under the wipers. the scuttle panel has a drain hole & tube that ducts rain water away but can become blocked by dirt and leaves etc, then the water builds up and flows backwards over the edge and down the back of the dashboard via the bulkhead joints. A knitting needle or welding rod can be used to poke the hole clear then test by pouring a small amount of water through the grille beside the wipers and ensure it runs away and does not sit.

Also check your coolant level, if it is down then the leak may be from the heater matrix inside the car, this is more difficult to fix and needs the dashboard removed in a lot of cars.

The 3rd possibility is a leaking windscreen surround. Silicone would fix that, get the black stuff and put a thin bead around the outer edge of the windscreen rubber and smooth neatly with a wet finger or cloth.
