Water behind glove box.

[Leigh]

This morning, after raining last night, when I took off a wave of water came pouring into the passenger side of the car. What the h**l! Has anyone experience that?

I checked the weather striping and it looked good. Windshield rubber looked good as well.

Thanks for any comments.

Where the cabin air filter goes, look down there and there is a grommet looking thing probably caked up with gunk. Pull it out and there is a slit at the bottom, so apparently its designed to drain water, but since the slit it so small, and so much shit can get backed up into it, it could make the water back up.

Would've been sick if u had a big breasted girl with a white tank no bra on wen that happened, instant wet tshirt contest lol... Sry just how my mind works. Anyway yea try the above method it should fix Ur problem, as for the seatbelts that might be a weatherstripping issue. Is it both or just one seatbelt?

it's both seat belts

Hmmm that's weird, maybe Ur weatherstripping is bad. Have u replaced any windows recently, maybe it's not properly sealed or set. The only thing I can think of is get a friend to hold the hose over the car n go back n forth from front to back while Ur on the inside, maybe u can pinpoint the leak that way.

 

[RideThePony2004]

no, no windows replacements lately. i tried with a bottle and the door open on both side. it's leaking by the panel on top of the window frame but I am unsure on what weatherstripping to check for or where

Eureka! Problem solved, yes it was water build up between the firewalls, water came in through the cabin air filter, which we will replace tommorrow. We also checked you tube after the assistance of FIVEOH86LX. Thanks.

[RideThePony2004]

What part of your seat belts get soaked? The whole thing or just the lap area or by the shoulder?

 

[RideThePony2004]
