Need Help--water leaking into the car; BUT Where ???

Post by jimzman5 »

I have been working on finding where water is coming into my Vibe 2003. Rear passenger side footwell get water under the floor mat that soak the carpet; each time it rain. I have run water on that side on the doors and no water seem to come in. There is no water that you can see in the inside. Could it be the rear holes on the water management system on the sun roof. Does anyone know where the hoes run and could this be where the water is coming in?? I know the front holes are clear. Hope someone has a ideal about this; driving me nuts Thanks for any feedback Jim

sounds like a water drain is clogged... not sure where the rear moon roof drains to, maybe the B pillar? someone should know and post soon though. did you take the carpet up yet?

Have you checked the weatherstripping? My Firebird would get water come in at the top of the window where the weatherstripping meets the glass. It was REALLY bad...
