Driver side cab leak
Did some searching but I either missed it or coulntcofind exactly what I have going on. Every time it rains, I get water on the driver side floor. It's enough that it will actually fill the fuse box lid. I ran some silusilidown the windshield hoping that'd cure it. No dice. Next step will be the roof lights or the moonroof. Do I need to drop the headliner to seal up either of these, if so, how?

Condensation
if the running lights had water then you should see water condensation after. Does one of them have water droplets inside the plastic?
but honestly you wouldn’t think too much water could come in from those little lights. Moon roof sounds like a better guess. You could test it with tape and plastic with a hose and see if it stops the leak then you would be able to rule that out or focus on it.

If clearance lights are leaking that doesnt mean the lens would have condensation,the foam gasket between light and roof breaks down and water gets through the wire opening. BUT most likely its your sunroof drains leaking. The lines are clogged or they have rotted

I was able to inspect this while it was raining. It seems the windhsield where the glass mees the seal is where the leak has oroginated. Very strange but after some.more digging, seems to be somehwhat common.

Good thing you found the leak in the first place. Safeflight will be able to remove the glass and not brake it then reinstall it. Not sure of the cost but i wouldn't attempt to try to seal this yourself. It will just make a big mess.
