Default Driver's Side Water Leak

I have noticed on several occasions that there is water in my driver's side floor mat after I was my truck or it rains. I have the Husky Liners, so it forms quite a puddle. Today I was at the car wash spraying off road salt, and decided to try and flood that corner of the cab to find the leak. When I looked back inside the puddle was there, and water was dripping from the parking brake bracket where it pivots. Any ideas where this leak could be coming from? I re-sealed the cab lights with silicone sealant, and the leak is still there. I ran water all along the cowl vent with no leaking, along the door seam with no leaking, but when I ran water around the cab light and top of the windshield it started leaking again.

Do you happen to have Recon cab lights on it? If so good luck getting them to stop leaking. Mine did it with the cheap Recon lights on it and stoped when I put the stockers back on it.

No Recons. Stockers only, but I would like to have a set of the third gen lights.

Your one of the lucky ones then. I would bet on it being a cablight leaking before the windshield so maybe put that light on the other side and see what happens.

I did that just to be sure. Same problem. Someone mentioned the top of the windshield leaking in another thread. Plausible?

Yeah the windshield can leak but I've only seen them do it if they have been replaced before. Take it to a good glass company and have them check it.
