water through speaker hole??

We just had a pretty good rain spell,and it seems that I am getting water in through the drivers side door speaker grill. Any ideas? It is geting wet right under the hole on the outer edge of the cab floor by the door.
Thanks everyone, Eric

Are you sure its vcoming through the door???
I would tend to think a cowl crack leak or similar and running along the inner fender wall to the door sill and puddling there...

I was thinking that, but when I checked, the speaker grill had water all over it. I didn't see any water running along the inside of the door. It also only seems to get wet under the speaker grill, nothing in front or behind it.

Then I'd look at the window seals, and weatherproofing on the door...
unless of course you left the window down...


try running a garden hose over it, and try to spot the leak...or pull the door trim and see if there is a water trail you can follow back to the leak

Check the windshield boot, mine leaks when it rains for a long time or real heavy, it will drip off my pillar gauges and onto the floor where the speaker is.
