Default A river runs through it.

I'm getting water on the passenger floor board of my Cherokee. Not coming in the windshield, not the a\c or defroster, not the door seals and no rust hole at all. I think maybe coming in from the rocker panel. If its possible it seems maybe there is a connection from rocker to where the passenger seat front right bolt is. Does anyone know if water can get from the cowling in front of the windshield down through the hole for the windshield washer and into the rocker? Is there a connection from there to the rocker? Is there a connection from the rocker to the interior?

clogged wiper cowl. There are 2 drains - one on each side. Take the cowl cover off and open the drains up.

Did you replace your windshield? I had water in the same place before, turned out my windshield wasn't sealed.

Not the drain hole under the cowling. I removed it today and it was clean. I ripped out the seat and carpeting. So for what it seems to be is definitely rain water and appears to be coming in between the a\c housing and firewall right by the blower. Its hard to see as there is a rubber covered piece with foam backing that doesn't want to come out and makes it hard to see. Is ripping that unit out very difficult? I don't have a garage to work in.
