    Hello,
    I live in Southern California, and despite what people might think, it rained here this week, and will be raining the rest of the week.:tsk: I used to like rain, now i absolutely hate it now that I have a car that leaks. First thing i found leaking was the back window, due to about a half-an-inch of seal missing.

    Then, after a whole night of raining, the floor on the passenger side was soaking wet.... And like only an inch or 2 up the side(like up the tranny hump and the side of the car...)
    Does anyone have any idea of what this might be a sign of? Not much else around there was wet(Not dash, seats, door panel)
    Could it be a door seal,windshield, something to do with the A/C ducts?

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks

    Its either a windshield seal or rust in your cowl. Best way to tell is wait untill it dries out. Then take a bucket of water and slowly pour it into the vents in front of the windshield. If the carpet gets wet again, its the cowl. If not, its most likely the windshield seal.
