Cab Leak from wash/rain ?

I have a water leak that comes into the cab right/passenger side when i wash her.
Ends up with wet carpet where the passenger's right foot would be.
Pretty sure it's not coming in around the windshield.
Any thoughts? Have any of y'all had this problem?
Thanks

If you're certain it's not the windshield, next guess would be the vents.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

My cab was leaking from around the cowl, area where the wiper linkage is located. It was a rusted out and was one of the first things I had to repair in my restoration!

short of pulling the carpet and trim to find the source check the cowl area under the windshield this where the firewall and cowl sheetmetal meet, I have seen many rusted out here.
Best bet is to remove the interior and do a water test to find the source.

Thank y'all and they all make good sense.
She has very little rust except surface rust and the right finder where the battery leaked acid onto it (it's been replaced now).
After a little more investigation, I think it might be the heater core leaking! I hear those can be a pain to replace!
