Passenger floor pooling rain water.

Post by RodDoe »

I had pulled back the matting on the passenger floor of my 2003 Vibe. There is a hole used to tunnel sensor wiring from the outside to the inside. Rain water is seeping into this hole at a good clip. Not coming from an a/c hose. It seems bizarre that water could pool there. Looked under the car the passed weekend-couldn't see any reason how water would accummulate there. I am not getting it!What the Freak!

Welcome to GenVibe!Just curious, what did you do to rule out the A/C drain hose? Have you had the A/C on at all recently?

Yes I do! Don't see how the rain water is getting in from under the car....(water seeks its own level.) I could see if it were dripping down from the sunroof. Thanks!

Last time I had water in the passenger seat, the sunroof drain was blocked. There was a glob of dirt sitting right in the hole.

I do see holes in the sunroof (guess those are for rain drain) that look obstructed with debris. I removed it..... and am keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks!
