water coming under then dashboard

ive recently converted my interior from burgundy to black. well anyways, it's been hella raining here in CA and i noticed that everytime i get in there will be water on the passenger carpet. and as im about to move the car, more water will run down from the dash to the carpet. is there a way to seal it? i dont want the car to get mold or something. thanks.

I've had this problem also. On mine it was a leak in the top corner of the windshield, where an angled metal clip goes over the corner of the glass. Put the hose on the corner and check for drips.

that's a pretty good thought...does it drain to a collector inside the dash?

No, it runs down a tube to outside the car. But if you swapped out the interior and disconnected the tube, or the drain tube is clogged it would flood on that side.
