    Water leaks and shit

    I have plenty, but I'm on a mission to solve them all. So far I've replaced all the window seals, the tailight and trunk gaskets, confirmed sunroof drains are clear. I'm waiting for my rear popout trim grommets and fuel filler neck gasket to arrive. What else is there?

    I have water on my rear seat and passenger floorboard, it's all very heavily soaked. I am going to check the "elephant trunk" today but I did also notice a drip coming from roughly under the passenger seat. Is there some sort of drain plug there? I can't find one on real oem but I may have seen it in a bare interior before

      Thanks for the move mods.

      I found a couple things, the "elephant trunk" is non existant on my car, I even tried matching it with pictures. The water leak dead cnter under my passenger seat seems to be from some huge like 4" round plug that's covered in sealant

        I had a similar problem on my drivers side. Ended up being the plastic vapor barrier behind the driver side door panel. If it looses adhesion at all around the bottom of the door, water can get in. I fixed it with some 3M butyl tape. This was one of many leaks
        I had to fix.

            Do you park on hills in the rain?

              I think that might be what's wrong with mine, only not right there. :(
              i get water in the drivers foot well (by the gas pedal) when it rains, even if the car isn't moving. it's on my summer to-do list.

                check the seals around the blower motor in the rain tray, they will cause a leak down the firewall onto the trans tunnel and into both front footwells when it rains.
