Default wet carpet

i have a '99 Astro and the floorboards are soaked. i thought first the a/c drain, but after running it for a while, it seems to drain just fine. it drips down by the right side front suspension. all the seals around the doors look fine, and there is no water on top of the carpets. i can't figure where it getting wet from. any ideas?? thanks Register today for free or log-in if already registered to remove this ad!

Take a hard look at the heater core and let us know what you found.

Check the rear doors. I've had to repair/replace a couple weather seals due to water leaks there.
