Water intrusion-floor is wet!

Water intrusion-floor is wet!
Did the gratuitous search thing and yielded nothing. Want to see if Im all alone on this one...
Truck: 2011 extended cab, gaser:
Problem: Driver side foot well rug is wet by the front edge of the sill plate, to the right of the door seal gasket on the floor after 2 heavy rains....(visualize as sitting in the truck) Don't hear any wind noise at all. In fact this ones quieter than my 08 was at speed.
Noticed a wet spot and water pooled by my left foot about where the plastic sill ends towards the front. We've had 2 good soaking rains in the last 3 days. Its gettin in somewhere. I've looked around the door seals and other obvious areas for signs of intrusion. Nothing stands out. My driveway has a incline. When its parked nose up I didnt notice it, Nose down there it is. Havent had enough time with the truck to try nose up. OK all you smart azzezs I know... park it nose up problem solved, maybe...lol Dont want floor rot. Could see it draining out with a slow drip from the rocker area on level ground. Haven't had the time to do the bubble check yet...(spray soapy water on door seals and run heater fan on hogh to create a positive in the cab). Before I look further or take it to the dealer for the song and dance I was curious if anyone has and solved this problem? TX!

Mine did the same thing. I ran a bead of clear RTV where the windshield seal meets the roof (follow the gutter that runs above the door across the roof for and aft down to the windshield seal). Pull the little plastic screw covers off of the grab handle and see if water comes out, also look at the hood release, mine had surface rust on it. When you get it sealed up, pull the sill plate off and make sure the wire run is dry, could lead to electrical issues.
