Subject:Why does my floor gets wet whenever it rains?

In my 84GL the floor in the front of the van gets soaked whenever it rains.
It doesn't matter if the van is being driven or parked.
I've looked and looked but cannot find any evidence of where the water is coming in.
I've checked all around the front of the van...headlights, antenna, grille, etc. Nothing shows signs of water entry.
Since the floor is above the bottom edge of the doors I tend to discount the door seal...but I'm not 100% certain.
And I hate to drop $50/door on new seals without being confident that's the problem.
Has anyone on the list had a similar problem and can you share your experiences and/or fixes?
