I have a 97 Tacoma Ext Cab 2.7 4X4 and the driver side floor board and carpet keeps getting wet. The floor board is rusty so this must have been happening for a while. I can't see any apparent holes where water would be getting in. There is also small tear (about 2") in the weather stripping at the bottom of the door. I guess it's possible that the water is getting in there but I have a hard time believing that water would go up and into this area. Unless the water coming off the tires is being driven into this area by natural forces while the vehicle is moving. What are the other possibilities? Is the heater core located on this side or the passenger side? Has anyone else experienced this problem? I just bought the truck a couple of weeks ago and I'm just getting familiar with it. Any help on the cause and/or a solution would be greatly appreciated.
