Carpets soaked
So both of my front carpets are soaked. Driver side even has a little puddle. Pretty sure it's not the AC because I haven't used it. Could the windshield be leaking?

The heater core is a possibility, are you also getting a sweet smell in the cabin when the engine warms up? is the windshield fogging up when the engine warms up? These are indicators of a failed heater core.
Do you have a Sunroof? These often have drain tubes that get plugged up over the years and may leak down your A-Pillar. Have you checked the cowl area between the hood and windshield? THere is also a drain tube / hole there that also gets backed up with crud over the years. It could also just be a leaking windshield. In which case you can run a clear silicone bead with a caulking gun. Pry up the rubber seal with a plastic putty knife or take the Jeep to a windshield repair place and have them remove and reseal the glass.
