Rain leak

Ok I thought my wet carpet on the passager side was from the AC condosation. but now I don't think so. I haven't used the AC in a while and the floor has staied dry. The other day it rained and the edge of the carpet was wet. I pulled the trim and the channel under it wear they run the wires was full of water and when it over flowed it wets the carpet. I looked all over and ran water all over the front and can't find the sourse. any ideas?

do you have a moonroof?

and check your 3rd brakelight. it may be leaking and letting water work its way to that side

No moon roof, I thought of the brakelight, but I have not seen anywetness in the rear that I know of but I am going to seal around it just in case.

I had the same problem for months. It turned out to be a leaking seam on the right fender. They pulled it all apart and resealed everything. To the best of my knowledge, it took care of the leak.

Update:

First I drilled a small hole to drain and water out of the channel, and got the carpet dried out resealed the 3rd brake light and check the door seals and finder, didn't see nothing. It rained the other day and the carpet was dry, but that could be becasue of my drain hole. Now my 00 Tahoe has the same issue
