Water on passenger side floor of Buick Regal

After a heavy rain, water appears on the passenger side floor of my 1999 Buick Regal and 1998 Buick Regal. Any ideas for resolving?

Thanks

U need to clear the AC condensation drain, crawl under the car on the passenger side and near the base of the engine firewall u will find a drain pipe, (about 3/4") clear t and the water will stop going on the passenger floor.

Remove the wiper cowl. Seal around the heater duct entering the car. Then make a deflector to install just under the area where the wiper cowl sits. Make sure its long enough to make the water move away from the heater duct. Do not block the dust or you will loose the outside vent.

2012 Toyota RAV4 passenger floor wet after it rains. Leak stains on left side under glove compartment. Doesn't happen every time it rains. I just bought it this summer 2023, when it wasn't raining.

Question edited for clarity, add maker.
Question moved to model category.

Based on our research the RAV4s with wet floors are usually, but not always, clogged sunroof drains or drain outlets. Other RAV4 owners found that the body trim surrounding their windshield or even the fender panel had degraded and failed, allowing water to seep in during heavy rain.

1999 Buick LeSabre has no cabin filter but leaks water onto passenger floorboard. Any suggestions?

If it has A/C the drain hose could be blocked and if no A/C it could be a leaking windscreen seal.

Water on floor board on passenger side of 1991 Buick Century

Engine coolant will feel oily and the windshield will fog up and the car will stink. If it is just water it could be coming from the passenger door weatherstrip at top. The ac drain tube , if stopped up will also leak water in the floorboard.

Water on the passenger side floor when it rains

Sounds like the drain for your heater case is blocked, there is a small drain tube on the engine side of the firewall on the passenger side, you can shine a light down there and poke a screw diver in it or just pull the elbow right off and it should take care of it.
