Passenger side wet carpet

I guess I should have written this a little clearer, thats what I get for trying to type at 1:30 am. The water is coming in on the front passenger side of the van where the inside door meets the inside body. There is a vertical piece of molding attached there, I removed the piece of molding and used the hose method you mentioned. I seen water coming through so I injected some silcone in the hole and put the molding back, I think I just wasted the silcone. I bought the van in late 2003 and leaking started mid 2005. To my knowledge windsheld has not been replaced. The dealer tried to tell me that the drain for the a/c was plugged and the water was from the condensation form the a/c coil. Considering it is wet only after a rain I think I can rule out the condensation.

Thanks

Check the door seams for misalignment. There's a good chance the door is sagging on the hinges. If you cannot shim or adjust the door back to where it's supposed to be, you will have to replace the door weatherstripping because the old weatherstripping has hardened into the form it should be when the door is correctly mounted.

What be this alpha plan?

Can you elaborate on the 10-15% parts price increase coming up? What is your source for that. I have a several-hundred-dollar parts purchase coming up and may have to move it up on the calendar.

Use the boat owners trick for finding water leaks. Take talcum powder and putit on all areas you think the water is coming from. Wait for rain or use a hose. Where the talcum powder is discolored is where it is wet. So simple and yet so reliable.
