    Heavy Rain leaky car

    We had a down pour last night and when I went out this morning my driver's front floorboard was soaked, nothing else though. Is it coming from the bottom of the front windshield??? I don't know I cant find the damn leak. UGH!!!

    ^^ x2 most commen problem will be those drains, if you dont have a sun roof then its posibly a leaky window seal or even rust under the front cowling

    With a leak you have to find the trail. Pulling the carpet is a good way to go when seeking out a leak. Use a water hose to simulate the rain.

    Was the car parked on the flat, or on a hill? If a hill, which way?

    No sunroof, parked level, and a water hose could never simulate the rain we had last night, unless it was a fire hose It doesn't leak, well didn't use to, in a light or moderate rain. I'll pull the cowl off and see what it looks like.

    How high was the water? I had water come up through the bottom of my floorboard, through the drain holes (In this case, leak holes lol), but that was pretty high water.

    It wasn't high when I came out this morning but that doesn't mean that it wasn't at one point in time.
