Default B4 Water on floor pan Help!

Just washed my car and after solving what I thought was the problem, I am still getting a substantial amount of water on my floor pans. I cant tell where it is starting since im sitting on a hill and it is all running toward the front drivers side of the car. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Default Sunroof drains plugged?

Bad window seal? Rust hole in the body?

I had a strange leak like this once... turned out to be a hole in the body, right infront of the fresh air blower. The metal had rotted through right where the firewall met the top piece of steel and it rusted through. Whenever it rained or the car was washed, the water would run down the firewall behind the carpet. Took me a long time to find that.

Patched with some fiberglass and undercoating.

Default I pulled the plastic up by fresh air intake...and sure enough...

There is a nice long crack, doesnt really look rusted, but just cracked. Im going to seal it up with some silicon and see if that helps. I love 90s but this one has been nothing but a pain! lol.

Default That may just be a crack in the sound-deadening they put in...

it's a sheet of thick plasticy crap... and tends to crack over time. Looks like steel when painted though.

Is it actually leaking there?
