For some reason I'm getting wetness on drivers floor. No I'm not
incontinent..And it hasn't been raining. I did recently have the
windshield replaced and thought it was due to improper install.
I had another put in and that didn't change the situation. Could it be
something else??

I don't remember what kind of car you have, but there are a few
possibilities:
Since it happens even though it is has not been raining, the AC evaporator
drain tube may not be routed through the opening in the floor or it may be
clogged. The evaporator drain tube is usually on the passenger side behind
the carpet under the dash. If the tube is pulled out of the hole in the
floor, it will drain on the floor and get the carpet wet. Since the wetness
seems to be on the driver's side, I'd also check for a blockage in the tube
by poking a wire up from underneath the car. If the drain tube is clogged,
you may have had critters build a nest in the blower motor and the debris
from the nest got into the tube.
If your car has a sunroof, the sunroof drain tube on the driver's side may
be blocked or mis-routed. Open the sunroof and look for a drain hole in the
front corners of the sunroof opening near the windshield pillars. If you
slowly pour water down the holes, it should drain under the car. If it does
not, check to make sure the tubes come out under the car. To be honest,
this is not a high likelihood since it hasn't been raining.
Another possibility is that the drain holes in the bottom of the door are
partially blocked and so water drains into the car instead of outside. Open
the door and from underneath, look for small holes in the bottom of the door
and poke a wire through the holes.

If the wetness has a sickly sweet smell like anti-freeze, the heater core
may be leaking.
