Interior problem
2006 Dodge Caravan Automatic 42000 miles

I had bad seals on the doors and water was getting in, so I now have new seals and that problem was solved.I then noticed the the passenger side floor was still wet when all around the other doors was dry.then the car just started smelling like mildew.I finally see that there is a water leak everytime it rains from underneath the glove box, a narrow stream comes down and puddles on the floor.I didn't start up until I was driving and had the heat on and wiper blades on the hwy.my mecanic did a water test by taking the interior panels off the car and ran a hose all around the windshield and eventually a power washer at a car wash but the leak wasn't duplicated.he cleaned out the vents but it still leaks during the drive when it rains.what do you think it is? i am so worried about water damage and wasting so much money to keep trying to figure out what to do.

If there are no leaks around the door or the windshield, check on the side panel where the radio antenna goes through the sheet metal. I have had the rubber grommet come loose and water would leak in there. Also, are you sure it isn't coolant?
