1990 Isuzu Trooper Mystery Water Leak

We discovered water pools under the front passenger side carpet and padding/insulation but cannot find a source for the leak. After a good rain the pools form again, so there is a leak somewhere running down the front passenger side.
HELP!
Has anyone had this problem before?
Any suggestions on where to look?

It's almost always the windshield. For a test try useing good painter's tape around windshield and if it stops that it!! Voila. You'll need some help from a glass place as if that's so windshield should be removed and that's tricky without breaking it, T

This is an ancient thread - the tape test at least rules that out. It's a 1990 - way plenty old enough especially if in a rust belt area for the metal to fail. Most good glass shops can still seal that if so. It can be a few things but if you know one that's common to a specific vehicle as said above, we appreciate it for archives,

Pouring a jug of water into the cowl vent and watching it drip onto the passenger side floor told the story on this one. Occurs to me I can do that to the driver side cowl, which does not leak, look for where the water exits underneath, and try to find a matching exit on the right.
Something to do when the Trooper sheds the 16" of snow that fell overnight.

Right - if leaking down by cowl it would not be the windshield if water was poured down as you said,
