Water on passenger side floor
I've done all the checks from the excellent FAQ thread, but I'm still getting a wet passenger-side floor.
My driveway slopes downward significantly, so the car is nose-down a fair bit when parked - could this be the issue? Would I be better off to back in and be nose-high?
Thanks!

Ok, your title says driver side but post says passenger side ?
Regardless, I'd get a volunteer, sit inside and let them soak you with a hose and perhaps you can pinpoint the leak

Good suggestions above. Clogged "udders" are the main cause of this. Make sure you have dielectric grease on all the weather strips. If you have a convertible, make sure that the rear window is not leaking. This can be a common issue as well. If needed, the windows and convertible top can both be adjusted.

Clean your udders under the hood. Lots of youtube videos on how to do this. If they are clean, some kind of weather-stripping is probably worn causing the leak. Id have the wife soak the car with a garden hose and while Im inside looking for the leak.

My 2000 Vert is getting wet on the pass side too. I believe it’s the condensation from the A/C not draining and backing up into the blower area and dripping out from there. I haven’t had a chance to confirm this but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is since it hasn’t been out in the rain or washed lately. My wife felt it dripping during turns at speed.

Apologies; passenger side.
Yep, been through the FAQ and cleaned out the cowl and the udders, and made sure they were correctly reconnected. I'm about 99% sure that it's not coming from there.
