Maybe a new Suburban owner... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at a new suburban, but it seems to have a water leaking in somewhere around the windshield? I pulled back the rubber floor mat on both sides to look for rust, and found that there was no rust, but a lot of water. It seems like it is running down both sides in the corner where the kick panel and floor meet. It was also wet along the bottom of the heater on the passenger side. What are the common places for this year to leak?
Other than this it is in excellent shape.

My truck was leaking everytime it rained, in my case the window seal on the top wasnt super flush with the body. It had an opening.... some clear silicone filled the void and alittle before and aft the hole fixed my problem.
