DYK it rained for nearly 3 straight weeks here? That's A LOT of rain for us! The ground stopped soaking it in after the first week. There's about a week of sun predicted, so I need to go out today & pull the roof panels off the run to hopefully dry it out a bit. The run never gets wet, so the massive mud pit out there is testament to how much rain there was. My downstairs is sopping wet & so is the inside of my car ... Explain to me how rain can get into a totally sealed up car???

sunroof leaks?

sunroof leaks?

I cant find any indication of it coming from the sunroof, door or window. Its only the passenger side floor that's wet (really, REALLY wet) could it be coming in from somewhere under the dash???

Was your car parked on an incline? If so was it facing up the incline or down the incline?

Every thing is sloped here. The cars are facing up the incline, but its not steep.

I had a car that the floor would get wet on the passenger if I parked it facing downhill and it rained. Face it uphill and it was fine.

there is a drain under your dash, if pine needles get into the water spout outside of the car at the bottom of the 'a' pillar

it will clog the drain and back-up into your car, there is one on both sides driver and passenger


ALSO there are drains in sunroofs

the circles to the right are the drains, the left is where the window lines up with the drain



Have you ever noticed that if you wash your car there is a channel of water that come out underneath your car, though you are letting the hose run on the top of it or on the windshield
