optical Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Ok so i recently have been getting water in my car on the driver side from my feet too the back seat. I also had it in the trunk but i beleave i solved that problem. I have taken all my carpet out and my seats but still cant find where its coming in. somethings i have tried Shot air from air compressor down the 4 moon roof drains. I was thinking about getting my front window resealed to rule that out. (anyone know the cost approx?) and also spraying the underside of my car with spectrum or something similar. anyone got any other ideas Quote
Skullz Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 It could be from anywhere, top, sides, bottom, roof, firewall, tail lights, best bet is on a rainy day take for short drives and stop in car washes to inspect the car for where it may be coming from. If it looks it's going to rain soon you'll want to pull the carpet up in the car and in the trunk and make sure everything is nice and dry so when it rains you can get pretty close to where the leak may be. Leaks can be one of those tricky things to locate cause of the way water can spread, make sure there are no missing grommets or plugs in the floor for water to come in through.

JZeFF Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Try pouring water down the 4 drain holes, 1 at a time. Make sure ALL the water comes out of the drain holes underneath the car. I thought mine were all fine, but I was wrong. There was a small piece of plastic in one of the drain lines that was letting some of the water through but not all of it. That caused the water to back up into the sunroof mechanism and drain down along the side walls... It was messy...

I will try pouring water down the tubes tonight. Also i have sat in my car while a friend sprayed the car with a garden hose and nothing appeared. Quote
optical Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 ok i think i found the culprit drain tube on driver side front came un done and it is impossible to find the tube that the a pillar tube hooks into. i tried for hours so i am going to take a 90 degree elbow and run it to the passenger side and hook it up to that one with a Y fitting. i have yet to try the other drains because i didnt have water in the passenger side but i still have a bit in the trunk so im going to try the rear drains tommorow. what a pita this is especially the carpet and headliner removal and install!
