Default Why?

Hi all,
New member long time enthusiasts. I currently have an '05 Monte Carlo that I love except for one problem. Every time it rains heavily (i.e. all day or a sudden down pour) I get water on my floor on the passenger side of the car. It comes into the cabin from under the dashboard and runs down the carpet until it puddles onto the carpet on the passenger side.....yes I said puddle! Well most of the time there's a puddle. Anyhow I'm thinking heater core, but this is the first time I've had this problem with any Chevy including my first Monte (an '85 I owned right after high school) I basically need to know if anyone else has had/is having this same problem and what you did to fix it. I don't want to spend a lot of time/money fixing something I don't need to. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Yeah, just follow the how-to on how to change the cabin air filter.

Probably just have a piece of weather stripping that fell off and letting water in.
