has anyone had to replace the underlay under there carpets???mine is completely soaked on the passenger side...not the driver side, that gets used the most. .when i pulled up the carpet on the passenger side it reaked like baby crap.lol. but i did notice that there is a plug in the floor about the size if a golf ball.so i pulled it out and to my surprise i could see right to the ground.(removed). no wonder its all wet........so iam going to seal it with some kinda caulkin when its dry.....but back to my ???? can i buy new underlay for the passeneger side.....if so any idea the $$$ amount???thank for any help u guys can give.

the whole floor uses one large pad. you can't replace it in sections.that plug is supposed to be there.check your AC drain.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10977

would the cause of my leaks be from the drain plug in the floor.....i checked my ac drain....no problems there..and i have no moonroof so it cant be that.....is there and windshield drain lines there??? iam at a loss, i cant figure it out....and it smells so bad,i would not think it to be heathly to be breathing in that mold or mildew smell....so i guess i will dry the underlay out as best i can and put it back after the seal the hole with some caulkin.

Chances are your A/C drain hose is loose. Look under the top of the carpet on the left side. If you were a passenger and you kicked your left foot up under the dash, you would be hitting right around where you need to look. There is a hose under there that can come loose from the connector, this will pump water onto your carpet. It's worth a check.

nope already checked my ac drain all is good......it seems to be wet in the middle and around the floor plug. is there any drains on that side???

if it is a new vibe take it back to the dealer. if not pull the carpet up like you have (i assume you have cause you have found the plug) and go to a car wash with an underbody wash, put the plug back in, go thru the wash and see where it leaks. the plug is for a tie down during shipping and the dealer puts it in as part of dealer prep.hope you find your leak.

the plug is not for shipping bc the floor pan is not strong enough it is actually for drainage incase the floor pan is fillied with water ie flooded road

if u still have a warranty have the dealer check your windshield gaskets and where your hood cowl connects my mom had that problem with her car (non-vibe) and thats what the deal said it was
