Leaking when it rains? Where in the hell is this water coming from?

Treblig said

Well, If you run water into the cowl vents (in front of the windshield) and it leaks into the car then it could be the vent duct risers inside the cowl??
If you run water around your windshield seal and you get water into the car then it could be the seal??

Besides the w/w seal there aren't too many other ways for water to get into the car in front??

Forgot about that one. Yeah it could also be the cowl vent, if the cowl is packed with leaves and crap the water can find it's way into the cabin instead of out the drains. The drains plug up and then the water hangs around and finds all the seams. The cowls also rust out because of that, so sometimes its actually water coming through the cowl floor.

My Duster is a California car, original paint, couple of owners, relatively dry climate car and it STILL had a colossal amount of crap in the cowl. Fortunately for me it is pretty dry here, so, no rust. But everything was plugged up with leaves.
