It's gotten to where if I know it will rain, I move the floormat to the passenger side so the carpet dries faster. I've poured water all over the windshield and fender and wiper area, and I can't find where it's coming in.

The article I read about common problems in the 1990 said the driver's side leak was left-fender related, though it offered no solution. I can't figure this out, so if you do, please post what you think solved the dilemma.
hello.
try to set in the car when it rains to see if it coming under dashboard,drvs side and passenger side too,and all corners under dashboard lift off the matt to get clear view.

if not coming from dash area,thats mean its coming from back or side panel rim above the door.

before i got to find where it is on mine i sealed all the holes where the the door rim bolts sets<i used ployurethane>then i put the bolts back,also i did the rims left and right for windshiled.
and the step plastic matt beneath the door .

it gets more water when it downhill, do you get water in passenger floor drvs side, also you must take the back seat off <the base>to see if its wet,
if it is wet that mean you getting water from the trunk and its travel to the front floor drvs side,
