Unfortunately, it could be coming in from a lot of different places.

The official answer is to remove the passenger seat, ecu, disconnect battery, glovebox, and peel back the carpet. Then with you in the car, have a friend pour water on specific parts of the car with a hose and try to narrow down where the leak is entering. It is tricky because the water could be entering in one spot and then trickling down and appearing far away from the actual leak.

Possibilities include: the roof seal, windshield, the "cowl area" where the wipers are, the firewall seals, the A/C evaporator, and cracks in seam sealer near the hood hinges. If you have an idea where it is entering you can go into detail in that spot and seal it up. good luck!


Professionals use chalk dust and dust the inside of the car where they suspect the leak is. Then they wet the car and it makes it easier to see where it has been leaking because the chalk is disturbed.

That is where mine was leaking from. Got some sealer, applied it to the area in which it leaked and no more leak. Have someone run a waterhose to the outside of the car and sit inside and you should be able to spot the leak.
