Mine finally leaked after the 7" noreaster last weekend. Not too bad just damp padding. I had to pull off kick panel to tell is was damp. I think I found my problem as others have found the same. I removed the cowl panel on passenger side & there are about 4 recessed plastic pieces that the cowl panel latches into. The cheap gasket on one looked out of place so I pulled one out & the entire area inside was full of water. Those clips don't hold enough tension on the gasket to make a seal. there are also 4 on the drivers side so thats 8 places for water to seap in. Now the water works its way arount to the side & drops down onto the dreader junction box. I removed the wipers & other cowl cover & threw out all 8 of those gaskets & reinstalled the clips with some good sealer I have that is for camper seams & such. I am convinced that is the problem as I have heard others describe the water sloshing back & forth when they drive. The problem may have been worsened cause some leaves were blocking the little hole in the cowl panel causing it to fill up & run backwards. Next time you have the leak pop one of those out & look inside. Others have mentioned sealing the seam at the A pillar but I think they are sealing the water in & not solving the problem.

I wanted to add that when this happened my car was not driven, it was parked in the rain. People that have issues with driving in rain may or may not have this problem. I used a product called Permanent sealer by a company called Ruscoe, comes in clear & white I used clear.
