passenger floor is soaked
Ok, long story short...
Couple of months ago my winshield got smacked by a very large object. It hit dead center and basically destroyed the windshield.
I got a new windshield installed and it seemed fine, however during a really bad rainstorm my passenger floorboards got soaking wet. There were no obvious leaks.
I called the windshield people and they re-installed the windshield, but thought that there was no way that much water got under my floor mat from the windshield leaking.
Yesterday it rained again and the floor got soaked again. It seams to be getting wet just in front of the seat next to the gear box area first.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to check besides the windshield?

I've had suggestions to check the drain tubes from the sunroof, but that seems like alot of parts to remove to check them... Is there an easier way then removing the headliner and sunroof glass? Compressed air or something?

I'd remove the lower kick panels on the dash, get a big flash light and turn on the garden hose and run that mother while in the car until I found the leak.
Get a friend to help you....
I'd bet they f'd the windshield somehow if the leak didn't start until after the repair. I'm not even sure the passenger side has many gromets. I don't have my car at the house so I can't check. My older rides all leaked like this from the windshield washer bushings but I'm nor sure if this is an issue on our cars. Is the wiper motor in the cabin...if so it could be an issue then.
