leak

ok, so the ac does not leak inside now, i know for sure it is outside. but now there is water inside, does anyone know of any ideas as to where rain water would leak in on the passenger side? i went to lunch today, and when i went in it was fine, while i was eating it poored outside, i drove back to work, then it was wet. so is there a place on the udnerside of the car on the passenger side that might leak? the dealer is going to schedule a time to fix it, but i am curious to see if i can take care of it myself, cuz i do not like the fact that the carpet is getting all wet...thanks guys

sunroof? if so each corner of the sunroof has a drain. the ones in front drain down the a-pillars and the ones in the rear drain down the c-pillars. get your fingers behind the a-pillar on the right side and pull it loose, see if you have water there.

i checked the second hose up in there, and that is connected and fine...that is something to do with the ac...the water is not much, its just enough to get the floor mat wet since it is rubber...is there maybe a spot on the underside that would be causing it to get wet? cuz it seems to be happening when it rains, it happened the other day (sunday) when it rained, and then today, it poored. i know for sure the ac is leaking outside cuz i have been seeing puddles under the car from the ac. and the window was closed, i always check that....so i am confused, i know the dealer isnt going to beable to fix it, cuz they wont know what to look for.....im confused

There are rubber plugs that are supposed to be installed at the dealership once the car is delivered. If these plugs are missing, you will have a nice hole on the floorboard that will let in lots of water. See http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=156132) Leaky roof seam. The seam that connects the roof to the unibody apparently can leak. GM had an online article on this but access has now been denied. See http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=18414
