problems with my car

I'm having trouble with my 2001 Nissan Maxima, when it rains the rain gets in my car, its dripping from underneath my glove box, when i get underneath to see its too far up, so I'm wondering if anyone is having the same trouble and if so, is there a non-expensive way to fix this?

That link doesn't help. it talks about a leak from his sun roof. when it rains i can see where the water is coming from, but i cant see exactly where.

Sounds like your best bet is to spray the car on a dry day, watch for the leak, then follow it up to wherever the water is coming in. Possibly water not draining from under the cowl?

Have a windshield been replace recently? sometimes, the glass shop might forgotten to put the trims back on or that something wasn't sealed properly Again, check your weather strip drip and see if it's dried out and shrunk

Seals

Check your door seals or sunroof seal as well. when these seals go bad they can leak through other channels in the can and be very misleading as to where to
find the leak.
