Re: Rain Problem??
There are lots of reasons that water could be leaking in.
- Moonroof drains clogged (often causes water to overflow and drip from the moonroof while driving or overflow into the trunk).
- Bad window seals (for windshields this can mean you need to remove the glass, put in a new "liquid" seal, put in a new exterior seal and reassemble it all).
- Bad door seals (pricey new, might require removal of the door).
- Crack in the body sealer (doesn't seem too common, especially into the passenger compartment).
- Heater core (causes a leak into the front passenger footwell).
- Taillight seals (causes a wet trunk and possibly damp rear seat from sloshing water).
It's hard to just guess the exact cause. You're going to have to look carefully where there is water, where it goes up the insides of the car, what exactly is wet (work up) and find the leak.
If you dry it all up on the inside and strip away any fabrics and plastics from the interior you can do a leak test.
