Default Anyone ever have a leak like this?

Well, I thought I might be getting a wet pass. side floor due to a clogged AC Drain plug, but when I yanked the carpet up, saw the water was dripping from up behind the dash. What the heck could this be?!

You can see the water gathered on the black tape in this one:

Never had any leak problems before damn Hurricane Charley.

Default They replaced it once, I complained about leaking, and they replaced it again.

Could still be the windshield, but I watched the guy replace it, and he seemed to really seal it well.

I sprayed the car once I got the carpet pulled back, so it's a leak.

Default Long shot, check the black plastic cover that covers the battery area...

mine wasn't seated right and a little pond would form in that area after each car wash. Once I seated it correctly no more leaks.
