Cab has started leaking towards the passenger side. It wasn't heater core and body shop was unable to find the leak after a week and much $$$. Do you have any ideas or have there been any others who have had the same problem?

It is not coolant that's how I ruled out heater core. It is water from when it rains and is not coming up from the floorboard. It seems to be worse when it is both rainy and windy but the body shop did a pressure wash test and couldn't get it to do it.Sometimes there can be up to an inch of standing water on the passenger side floor. Since I live in Washington and have no garage you can imagine this to be annoying. If it were my only vehicle it would have been gone a while ago. The window seals aren't too bad either and it doesn't seem to be coming from any place easily seen. Any ideas would be great. Thanks Caryl Hansen

Caryl,
If it isn't leaking around the windshield or from anywhere you can find, check where the radio antenna goes through the body (passanger side) under dash. I have seen the rubber grommet come loose that the antenna wire goes through and water leak through there.
