Default Mystery Leak

Well a couple days ago we had some very heavy rain and I found a puddle on my floor on the drivers side. I seemed like it was dripping from behind my dash onto the floor. The top of the dash was a little wet by where it meets the windshield directly in front of the steering wheel. I have no idea how the water is getting in there. All my seals appear to to be fine.

Any ideas??

Spray it down with water and try to find exactly where it is coming in at. It could be coming in down in the cowl too, I had a car that thru on the firewall and could never pinpoint where it was coming from.

Well I found it. First pulled the cowl off to see if it was clogged up. It was pretty clean so I looked at the seals. There was a gap in the sealant of the windshield. Put a little silicon in there and we'll see if anything happens next time it rains.
