Update for this thread: dealer replaced the ‘windshield to cow’ seal.
Hopefully this repair will resolve the water leak that ends up in the driver foot well.

Fullstop: We have not had a super heavy rain for a “full on” test but no leaking in moderate rain yet...
I can you, the source of this leak was not found until I pulled the side dash trim and trims under the steering wheel and driver speaker/headlight control module.
It took my persistence to identify the area of the leak after the dealer had been throwing darts in the dark for months... to their credit they had already replaced the driver door gasket, all gaskets associated with the freedom panels, replaced the driver freedom panel and then finally the windshield to cow part as shown in the picture.
The tricky thing about this leak is the water was coming in about two inches to the right of the driver a pillar and then dribbling down the left side of driver side compartment and under the floor mats (carpet has been out since April). I’d open the driver door, no water or a few drips on the mat and an inch of water in the foot well.
Hope others with difficult to diagnose leak issues make some headway... the next good rainstorm will be an indication as to wether or not this fix solved the problem.
