Where is this water coming from?

I have an '88 4x2 that is leaking rain water in the cab. I took out the glove box and speaker cover, and found the water dripping off of the heater duct that goes to the passenger side vent. I thought the water might be coming from where the fresh air comes in for the heater fan, but it appears to be coming from higher than that. Does anyone have an idea on what it could be or where else I can look?

I was kind of thinking that it might be the windshield. I have noticed some extra condensation on the bottom of the windshield. Could that be an indicator of where the leak is? Is there a quick fix for a leaking windshield or does it have to be removed and re-glued?

hmm, Well I knew i had a water leak on my pass side floor, Every time it rained at night the next morning there would be a tiny puddle on the floor...
So first time i was driving, wipers at full speed in the rain i looked over and noticed a sorta bubbly spew of water coming from bottom corner of the winshield...
I suppose if you wanna try some RTV that might work, in a pinch of course, but id get it re glued as soon as possible...

it might also be the bottom of the fender plugged up with debris, which lets the water back up into the fresh air intake for the cab .

It may be more than a windshield leak!
