so i went outside to check out something in my car and right when i open my passenger side door i notice a little puddle in my car start from where the foot light is. this is just after it rained outside for half the day. i look closer and i see its dripping water from there still. i take out my foot light and i find water inside there too. following this i check the 3 square vent to the right of it and theres a very small puddle in there. has anyone had this problem? do you guys think its my windshield weather stripping? thanks.

It's leaking from somewhere. You will probably find it by pulling into one of those car washes where you can sit inside the car. Try that, see where the water leak is and reverse engineer it.

I would start with the sunroof drain tubes (open the sunroof and look for the holes in the front corners) and go from there. Good luck!

Had passenger's side drain blocked by some kind of alien seed, but it all drained through the overhead light/sunroof control unit.

So check the light for evidence of moisture. If not, I bet it is a windshield seal problem. Any CarFax evidence of a repair?

I actually have a similar issue.. The gasket between the blower motor box and the evaporator likes to leak...
