See my previous post about the rear AC.
On most vehicles that I've had, the front AC drain tube is right in front of the passenger seat and will flood as you described when it is plugged (notice that it is the location that normally drips when you park the car after using the AC).
You need to find the drain tube and clean it out.

Thanks for the response asdrew1. Is the drain line typically found from the top under the hood or do you need to place the vehicle on a rack to view the underside?

Thanks for the information tedebear. I guess I'm the first to experience the problem.

Another reason other than AC - Just under the windshield at the front of the van is the external air intake. Air from that intake comes into the van just above the floor (behind the glove box) on the Front Passenger side. Underneath the external air intake is a plastic trough with two drain tubes (One on either side of the van). If the drain tubes for the trough just under the external grill (just below the windshield) gets blocked in anyway the next exit place for that water is into the van at the front passenger area. Stick your head under the glove box and you might see some water. Visit www.autoleak.com for an example solution. However what is not mentioned on that site is that sometimes when a windshield gets replaced, the rubber along the part of the intake grill that touches the windshield is not put tight against the glass or is even missing. On a heavy rain day, water floods down the windshield and into the trough and then into the car as the trough can't cope with the amount of rain plus it pushes lots of dirt into the trough causing the drains to block. Secured rubber between intake grill and the windshield avoids these problems.
