No rust ... but in looking quickly, might be that space in the corner
of the windshield between the plastic/rubber trim and the body that
Mike pointed to. Noticed today water does run in there off the
windshield. When it stops snowing :-) and things dry up, I'll start by
removing the inside plastic side panel and run some water on the
windshield. See if that's the source. This is a new problem that I
haven't yet started pulling things apart to locate, so all past
experiemce of others is appreciated.

I'm not sure the amount of water you're talking about or if it happens
just sitting there in the rain, but something else you may also consider
is that it could be condensation from running your defroster on rainy
days. If that condensation drain line is clogged, it will dump into your
passenger footwell, sometimes a bunch. Make sure that line is clear.

Good thought ... but the ac has not been functional for a few, well
ok, many years
now. It's a sitting in the rain problem as 1/2" of rain, 1/2" of
water on the floor :-)
