After a driving rainstorm, i came to the boat and found the carpeting in the cabin soaked. I know there have been threads that said the way the carpet is installed, the edge goes into the mid cabin bilge [near the shower sump] and when there is water there acts as a wick and soaks the carpet. That is my issue, but need help where to look to see where water is entering. I know it could be almost anywhere, but where are the most frequent spots? There is no visible sign of water on the headliner, however the corner of the cushion by the A/C control on the starboard side is wet. I resealed the windows last year. Any places to focus on first? Thanks!
 
Check around the outside window frame, pull out the black gasket and check the mounting screws. Sea Ray used Silicon Caulk and on mine, it deteriorated and I re-installed them with 3-M 4 series caulk.
