Interior Water Leaks(wet carpet specifically), Where might it be coming from? Options

[casey944]

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.

Wiper seals might do this , but most of these components are in the front compartment , just exactly where are the carpets getting wet ?? All over , driver's side , passenger side , under the seats , foot by the pedals , on the door silss and the adjacent long area ??

I know some will cringe when I say this , in years past some of the old cars I could afford when I was a kid , some would leak from who knows where , I would take a scratch awl and punch a small hole in a few spots to drain the water out , thereby eliminating carpets staying wet , allowing them to drain and dry out. I know this may be a harsh idea , but until you find and stop the leak , you do want to get the water out and not let it sit on the pan starting rust to form , once the =leake is repaired / remedied, you can / or have some one to weldup the small holes left by the scratch awl. AND yes it sounds like a real crazy idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) , to punch holes into floor pans that as a 914 owners we are trying to eliminate.

Good luck...
