Default 2013 Wet Driver Side Floor

New 2013 noticed tonight that the driver side floor is soaking wet. We have had some rain but not a lot any ideas? 2 door soft top.

I had the driver and passenger side getting wet and had the weather stripping on both doors changed and the windshield header gasket changed, covered under warranty. Leaking stopped.

Same issue dealer water tested and driver side door seal was the culprit my service gal said the door seals have been the biggest contributor on the 2013s wet floor complaints.

Can anyone post pics of where the weather stripping was replaced?

Mine are leaking right at the upper corners on both sides and I'm trying to figure out exactly where I need to apply this stuff. Seems like after 5 years the foam crap on the upper door surrounds have lost their life.

Should I be adding foam weatherstripping to the door surround or replacing the rubber that goes around the door? With my hardtop I get zero leaks, which is why I'm not sure my door rubbers need replacing.

Same issue on my 13' I've had it for 2 months now and I've been to the dealer 3 times fir the water leak. I have a hard top and this last time they leak tested it they found the seal at the bottom of the windshield where it folds was defective and most of the water was coming in there, but also around the door seal.
