    Soaked passenger side carpet solved!

    Original problem is here: http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=160647

    Well I decided I didn't want to plug up the upper drain hole as a bandaid fix so I took out my dremel took and cut two openings to do some further investigation



    I did some more water testing and it looked like water was getting into the visible seam. So I went to my friend bodyshop and borrowed some sealant



    I didn't take any before pics but you get the idea of where the seam is





    I did a water test and water was still getting in so that didn't work.

    After doing more water testing there was only one spot left that I could think of and that was this inside seam that is very hard to see which I thought was part of the fender.




    I did an isolation test with my blue water and it went into the cabin! Did a retest with red water and confirmed this was the spot.

    So waiting for the spot to dry and sealing it up.

    Sealed up the entire seam last night, water tested with 7 cups of water and NO water in the cabin.

    Now to put her back together.
