update to water leak
i have narrowed it down to behind the passenger seat. it is coming in from underneath the panel where the rear speaker is? is there a drain or something in this area that could be clogged up? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: update to water leak (wantavette)
Hi Wanta,
If memory serves, there is a weatherstrip with a drain tube built into it...in the Coupe. Also, just to be sure, as mentioned behind the seat, this is the area behind the seat and not in the cargo area. If the cargo area, when one raises the rear glass water will pour in if not careful. Also, reapply dieelectric grease to all the weatherstripes in this area especially the seam and where two weatherstripe join/ seal together. Lastly, the trim panel that covers the seat belt is very easy to remove. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to remove the trim panels in the leak area and look for forensic water traces.
Good hunting and fixing.
