Jack, I've got a similar problem with my '00 that all of Mopar's techs have
been unable to pinpoint or fix to this point. Best I can figure, my water
comes through the A/C-heater box under the dash. Mine leaks pretty much only
when it is parked on an incline. It leaks pretty darn bad when it rains, but
even if it's dry outside and I park on an uphill incline, the water is in
the floor. I figure it has to be A/C drain water that is collecting in the
box under the dash, then leaking out when I tilt the truck up by parking on
an incline. I never even use my A/C, but when I have used it just to see if
it made a difference, it only made it worse. This really gets to me because
I try VERY hard to keep my truck as clean and perfect as possible,especially
the interior, and the dealers seem 1)baffled and clueless on this problem,
and 2) pretty unwilling to try to fix it or do anything about it. Good Luck,
hope you have a better experience than I have had.

Hello all:
I've just signed onto this mailing list and I have a problem with
water entering into the front passengers floor area. Looking at some
of the archives I see that other people have had similar problems as I
have with reference to A/C pipe, leaking windshields, missing
grommets, cab mounted brake light leaking, missing or sparse caulking,
etc. causing the to leak into the floor compartment.
I have a 1993 Dakota which just started leaving puddles of water in
the passengers side floor well after a rainy period. Has any one ever
encountered this problem or heard of it? I know it's coming through
the door seal near the front, as I can see it leaking in, but I'm not
sure how. If I put a hose on the roof and let it run toward and down
the passengers side door, the water enters the rain gutter and flows
down the front and rear of the door, then over the door seal (weather
stripping) at the front of the door threshold and into the cab. The
little vent holes in the seal well up with water and you can actually
see it roll in to the cab and on to the floor pan. It's driving me
nuts as to how it's able to get through and what to do to stop it.
It's hasn't been a problem for the past eight years. Why now?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
