Default C5 Leaky Windshield

Looking for some history - I just got my car back from the dealer after getting Mickey Mouse out of the heater blower and fixing the leak in the windshield only to find out that it still leaks. The dealer had a windshield contractor do the window and they told me it had a tear in the seal. When I washed it this weekend the water showed up in the same place on the floor under the steering wheel. Can it be coming from someplace other than the windshield? Pretty sure the dealership is trusting the contractor to know what they are doing and I think the "monkees" only know how to replace broken windshields not find leaks. Any ideas?

Have you checked the cowl drain to make sure it wasnt cluttered up?

Will that make it leak inside the car? Not that familiar with the area. I don't usually drive it when the weather is not conductive to Vettes. Shouldn't the dealer be smart enough to check that first?
