Prospeeder Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Weather stripping around the doors, or anything would leak and drain at the bottom of the door soaking the floorboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95aquase Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 nope no sunroof.... ill have to see about the weather stripping tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 brings a new meaning to your screenname, but anyway.... Check the weatherstripping particularly where it's curved the most. Thats where they tend to leak, usually at the bottom corner below the door striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 any worn, warped, torn, loose, smashed or otherwise retarded out is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Roll down your window, open the door, and place a dollar bill in front of the weatherstripping, then close the door so half of the bill is outside the car and the other half is inside. Grab the bill at both ends and try to pull it back and forth. If there's no resistance when you tug on the bill, then your weatherstripping is shot...

Stevo Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Air stack under the windshield wipers on the passenger side is letting water that runs down the windshield to enter and run into the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Air stack under the windshield wipers on the passenger side is letting water that runs down the windshield to enter and run into the car. That's what I was going to say check stuff around the cowl, it might leak there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Check your spare tire well. If it's got any water in it, it's a trunk leak that's making it's way down into the cabin. Trust me it's not difficult for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 actually I remember a procedure to check for a leak back when my old car had a similar issue. What you do is tape the vents closed that are in the door jamb, just under the door latch/striker. Next you start the car, turn on the ventilation (keep it on fresh air, not recirc (MAX) ) close all windows and doors. Use soapy water if needed or just feel around for air escaping. That will at least narrow down your search area. Note that there will be air escaping near the door handles and door frame drain hole(s) as this is normal.
