rain leak drivers side
Just discovered water leaking into the interior driver's side floor only wet under the carpeting under the seat and pooling up behind the driver's seat. car sits in the driveway with the front of the car higher than the rear-thus the water runs from the front (probably) and pools up behind the seat. Is this leak from the bottom of the windshield or from the drain trough in front of the wipers. Just cleaned out 1 of the drivers side drains a few days before a heavy rain and then noticed the water.

The leak could be coming from your door weatherstrip. Wash the car then open the door and see if you have water dripping from behind the door molding just below the weather strip. It will look like streaks on the door sill molding as it runs down the molding to the sill and then then down on the carpet.

Also, I had a leak on the drivers side caused by condition 4 noted in the previous post - an easy fix.
