Lot of Water on the Floor
Jumped in the car (2002 B4C) the other morning, and noticed there was a lotta dew on the inside of the windshield. Wiped it off and drove to the station. Also noticed the car smelled real funky inside. . .
Yesterday, I discovered the floor - front and back - driver side and passenger - is very very wet. Carpet is totally soaked, especially in the back. I haven't tried to determine the source of all the water, but we had a lot of rain several days ago, so there must be a really bad leak somewhere.
Does anybody have a suggestion on where to start ? BTW, the car has no t-tops.

This problem and no t-tops? You're sure you didn't have a window cracked during the rain?

Well. . . I don't think so, but I'm gonna get the thing dried out and wind up the windows, hit it with a hose and see what happens. . . I don't know of any other way to diagnose the problem

On the passenger side at least ... see if your AC drain is clogged up. That happened with me and I had literally 2 INCHES of water in the floorboard. Also, check your weatherstripping along where the window should seal

I had this problem in my hardtop z. I tool some silicon caulk to the plastic piece where it meets the winshield and solved it. It only took me about 6 months to figure it out

Smittro: I saw those pics earlier while searching around for clues concerning my leak. . . I guess I too am gonna hafta tear the interior panels out along with the seats, etc. to figure this out.
As regards the A/C condensate tube, I doubt that is the problem. Haven't been running the A/C, but I have been running the defrost some - which I guess runs the A/C. . .
Damn ! I hate having to deal with a leaky car. . .

The funky smell? Doesnt smell like coolant does it, Make sure its not your heater core.

I thought of coolant too, but it doesn't smell like that. It smels more like a pile of rotten dirty underwear. . .

More Info. . .
Yesterday, I pulled the bottom seat cushions out from the back seat, and underneath there were deep puddles of water on both sides - driver and passenger.
I'm still trying to get the car dried out prior to performing a test with a garden hose. By the look of the rust stains on the driver side carpet under the cushions, I'd say this leak has been a problem for quite some time.
Stay tuned.
