s14 S14 floorboards soaked when it rains

I've searched all the threads back through years of posts and I can't find what I'm looking for. So I apologize if this is a rookie sounding post, but I've owned 5 s14's and never had this issue. Anytime it rains, even a light rain, water pours down the firewall right where your feet would rest on both sides. I've taken all the plastic off the bottom of the windshield and resealed it there, but it didn't even slow it down. The car doesn't have a sunroof, so I'm scratching my head. Anyone have this issue? Thanks, and again sorry if this is a repeat question.

Check the rubbers on the firewall where the wiring comes in from the wheel well. I had the same issue and it was the rubbers not being in correctly

also use a hose outside and get inside the car to see if you can locate the exact leak. flood your windshield and wiper gutters. clean debris or clogs in wiper gutter. its either going to be a rubber seal loose/missing/cracked or worse case scenario a body seam or glass seal is leaking.

Thank you all for your help, just found my issues. Body seams behind both front wheels are opened up.

I had a grey s14 that would fill up with water behind the passenger seat after a rain.
My solution was to sell it. Hope it’s not the same car since you’re close...
