Exclamation Water Leak Front Passenger side footwell and door

Hello All,

I need help finding where the water leaks coming from. today I was washing car and found front passenger side carpet foot well has some water stored. so I checked Front Passenger side weather stripping seal which is loose " I will replace this", after reading old posts here some people had loose water vapor barrier seal secured with Butyl Tape which is inside door which hold sound insulation, I will check that also but.................. here is the mystery, I opened under cover of glove box and some water leak there also, so I am not sure where water coming from inside glove box , I checked windshield seal which looks fine, could be hvac cowl? I checked hvac cowl that also it was some loose but how the hell water goes inside cowl and went to glove box?

See pics and need your opinions to track down that leak which goes inside glove box cover.

Is your windshield original? Other posts have suggested that "installers" leave critical parts off the installation and that leads to leaks. Something under the cowel.
