The story goes like this.......Found a puddle in the rear passenger side floor a couple of months ago. Pulled interior and tried to trace leak. Thought the top was to blame....it was original ('94T). It was tearing at the edges in the bottom corners next to the rear windows....trunk was also getting damp. Anyway.....replaced the top and left the carpet out for a couple of weeks to see if it would stay dry.....it did. Great! Put the car back together and 2 weeks later after a hard rain.....guess what, wet.
It was wet under the front foam also so.....this led me to the windshield. Had the windshield replaced last week. Took carpet out again to dry and placed some blue absorbant sheets on the floor so that any water getting in would show up well. I cleaned out the drains that are on the bottom of the quarter panel...there was some crud especially on the passenger side so....Thought I nailed it. That has been the problem.
Nope! Rained hard again last night and my fiancee just called to tell me that the passenger floor is wet again. I've still got the carpet out so no big deal there but.....WHERE IS THIS WATER GETTING INTO THE CAR?
The car gets parked on about a 30 degree slope every night facing forward....my fiancee thinks we should just give up and park it facing the other way....then the water won't get in. I can't give up that easy though...the water is still getting in somewhere. We've had the car for 3.5 years parking it this way and it didn't start getting wet until a couple of months ago....It gets washed at least once a week also so it's not just withstood the weather for that period of time.
Does anyone have ANY ideas here? This is driving me nuts!!!!
Thanks in advance and sorry so long.
