Floorboard & a/c wet. NO SUNROOF
So I just purchased a 2008 Alpha H3. We just had rain last weekend. My daughter took the H3 late that night AFTER it stopped raining. She told me the next day the floorboard on passenger side was wet. As I said "I DO NOT HAVE A SUN ROOF". I inspected the floor and a/c box, both were wet. I pulled the cowl and cover in front of the windshield off to inspect it. Completely clean. I took a 32oz cup of water and poured it in the middle of the opening, Water drained from both sides. Checked the a/c. box and carpet again and water was dripping. I cannot see the entire passenger side cowl opening because there is metal covering it from the frame. Is the fresh air intake under the passenger side? I am stumped and just short of cutting the metal out to see where it is leaking. Also the previous own had the same problem because someone put duct tape and some form of sealer all over the a/c box. It also appears a Saran Wrap was used to cover the cowl. There is still remnants of it on there.

Wait, do you have a sunroof?
Sounds like a prior owner did or had a poor repair attempt of some kind made. Might have been a heater core replacement??? Are you sure the windshield is sealed at the bottom? Sometime glass companies send out kids to do a man's job.
Anyways, your problem is not common at all. I would suggest trying to remove all the duct tape, sealer, and plastic to see what is happening.
Good luck!
