Did anyone look into to the A/C draining into the cabin? I know it is cold, but when you run the defrost the A/C is on.

Just a weird place I had a leak... again drivers side foot well... somehow... water was getting in the door I assume the seal door to glass... and leaking into the foot well via the speaker didn't do it all the time and I just happened to spot the wet spot at the bottom of the door speaker...
Unfortunately no, it's either been terrible weather here or I've not had time to take off the sunroof (no covered place to work). What I did figure out is that if the truck is level, or even better slightly tilted back, even really hard rains won't soak the floor. My best guess is that the front sunroof drains are a bit plugged, and the rears are flowing for some reason. Seems like a summer project since my sunroof is inoperable as well. Might as well save up and fix it all the right way. Unfortunately I'm saving for my 180k service :/
Thanks, sounds like you should avoid hills in the rain.
good luck with chasing this and let me know what you find. Ill do the same.Interesting. I think my speaker is dry, but will double check. Can't seem to locate source just yet. Must. Find.
I heard about this from the installation video for a roof rack company. Rhinoracks?
Great thread. My passenger side rocker let out some water when I removed the drain plug...
Now I am trying to find out how to keep it from filling up?
Hopefully there is a diagram of how water enters the rocker panel.

I had this issue in my 2007. My problem turned out to be water running down the leading edge of the driver's door, right near the bottom, it would flow from "outside" to "inside", fill the cavity under the sill plate (and carpet) soaking the floor from what first appeared as from the bottom up.
The water flowed across right above a vertical seam if I remember correctly. If it had stayed outside to this seam, then seam would be dam preventing it from ever getting in. Need to move rubber towards this seam to fix.
Here was my fix: 1) remove rubber inner gasket, re glue with good sealer (the kind you put on and then let dry), reinstall this inner gasket with the leading edge side being allowed to go slightly lower than before. Once you get a visual on the flow, you'll see. This prevents the water from getting to the inside. 2) replace outer gasket with new. These steps fixed my problem.
