I had this problem once afew years ago and never since. Until last night. I had the car parked down a slight incline and the passenger front was the lowest point. I got in the car and turned te defroster on and a pool of water rushed into the passenger front floor. I siliconed it today. Now i hope for the best.

I have never had this issue... I will co and look into preventive measures though. "Catch can for the heater/ a/c box mod"

Just make sure that you all pull your carpets and coat the passenger floorpan with Rhino Liner so it wont rust out in a few years.

For the whole first year I owned the car whenever it would rain I noticed water would drain into the passenger side floor. I looked everywhere except under the windshield vents. When I stopped parking my car on the street, which was a slope toward the passenger side, it stopped. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how the hell the water got in. Now it all makes sense and thankfully I haven't had to deal with any water issues in the last 2 years. Good work though and now if ever becomes a problem I've got an answer on what to do.

I would assume that the cabin air filter mod would help cause some restriction that less water would enter the vent when the water buildup moves around. Yay or nay?

gottasrt4 · 07-20-2009, 03:06 PM

probably not....the vent itself is like a foot away from where the leak occurs....here's a pic to explain.

I just did this last weekend,.....LoL, never thought I'd be look'n forward to a storm!!!

gottasrt4 · 07-23-2009, 07:40 AM

had a storm yesterday and it helped A LOT,.....not NEARLY as much water down there - one more layer should do it!!!

abdelito14 · 07-23-2009, 04:53 PM

can you get closer pics of it??? wanna do this bad!!

gottasrt4 · 07-24-2009, 09:39 AM

doode, take that cover off, look where I put that red arrow, and you'll see a HUGE crack between the plates - just fill it in with some waterproof RTV sealer and you'll be good to go.

,......and look'n back on it, I think my carpet was wet 'cause my windows were cracked...seat was a LiL wet, too.

I'm gonna go head and put another layer on there anyway, but then I await the next storm for definitive results!!!

gottasrt4 · 07-29-2009, 07:33 AM

aiight, this time it rained AND my windows were all the way up - the leak wasn't gone entirely, but it was reduced to a tiny puddLe!!

one more coat should definitely do it!!!

Sweet i got my 05 bout a yr ago and noticed this problem right away, living in would be sunny florida..

..Hopefully this fix works for me too and i can put a stop to the rest of my floor mat turning green!!

Snyphor24 · 08-19-2009, 02:36 PM

oh yeah i noticed it after car washes too so if you're eager to leak check just grab a water hose and "simulate" the rain :-D
