I've been having a small rain water leak in my cab, the passanger side near the front right panel. It seems to trickle down the side panel and pooling on the floor bed. I don't know where it's coming from. Any ideas?

How are we supposed to know where it is leaking? Get a friend over and get him to spray the cab with a water hose while you are in it.

I asked because usally people here have had the same problems over and over. I figured someone would go "Oh I had that problem that's a easy fix.....Blah Blah blah".

Check the firewall, make sure there no llittle holes drilled. Also check any rubber grommets, make sure there not pulled out or rotted out.
Check the cowl area between the lower part of the windshield and the rear of the hood where the AC sucks in air from outside. Bad door seal in the front portion of the door?

Thanks guys I'll check the firewall. The trickle is forward of the door so I don't think it's the door seal.

3 areas that can cause this leak
1) The kick panel with the vent door thingy. replace that seal and make sure its TIGHT, it has to be REALLY tight for it not to leak. The seal is cheap enuff, but its trying to get that plastic kick panel tight without stripping any screws off.
2) Where the heater core hoses go thru the firewall. There is a shelf that goes at an angle on the firewall, its only 1/4 wide and about 3-4 inches long but when it rains , water runs down this lil shelf right into the opening where the heater hoses go thru the firewall. just get some kind of sealant and fill all that in so water can run into it. I had some stuff I use for cable, its like tacky insulation that you wrap around stuff, could get A/C or plumping wrap and build up that area around the heater hoses.
3) windsheld area and seal.
