So, I replaced the carpet in my car a month or 2 ago and we have had some steady rain since. Felt my carpet today as I was working in my car and felt that both the driver and pass sides are wet. Not the hump in between, not the seats, not the door panels... just the carpet in the foot wells. Where would you recommend I begin searching for leaks? I bought a superweave cover from Cal Car Covers today in hopes that it will cure 98% of the issue but this still bothers me... any help?
Thanks. |

Once upon a time, I also fixed this same 'mystery' issue by correctly seating the windshield washer squirters. The previous person hadn't gotten them installed all the way down, so water was getting in.
The fresh air unit is the grill in front of the windshield. If the drains are plugged with leaves,etc then the box can fill up and leak water into the cabin. You can use a hose to simulate rain and then crawl around the car looking for drips. That's how I found out about the squirters leaking. |
