Default wet floor! Help

is it normal for the front floor/carpet to be wet after u get done wheeling/mudding in puddles or is this a problem of concern? i looked under it but i dont see any rust so idk wt to think about it...i am completely stock at this point and have wet carpet after puddling... idk but could it be water coming in from the floor drain plug that is there...

I remember a water fall coming in from the heater fan, passenger side, when crossing deep puddles.

and take out your carpet, at least to just let it dry out. that underpad holds water forever, and probably will never dry if left in.

I think my windshield might be leaking too then. Its been raining the past few days here, and the passenger floor has been getting wet. I haven't been able to find a leak in the door or anything, maybe its my windshield.

You might wanna crawl under there and see if your floorboards have rusted holes through them as well.... it happens.
