Floor Board is soaked...Help?!?!
 
When taking off my seats to put the leather on, I encountered something very strange, under the carpet was soaking wet all the way from the front seat to the back, now the carpet is dry, but inderneath it with the insulation is wet, the car doesnt reak of any mildew or moldy smell, the floor under the carpet looks clean with no signs of rust, I am wondering if anyone has simular problems or would know if I have a drain plug missing or gone bad ect...

you have a moisture leak somewhere from the bottom of your car

archemedes 01-19-2008 03:36 PM

that pad absorbs water like a sponge, just you getting in with wet feet can make it real wet

Those are horible.. and as archemedes said its probobly due to wet shoes just dry it up.

That sucks in my jeep after my dad hit me they repaired my door however it leaks a little when its raining and the windows blowing.. So it becomes a pond in my passenger seats area.. More or less my floor is rusted to **** now..

Never noticed that with my formula, but with my integra it happends bad. the whole hatch area is wet all the time under the carpet.

Happens with my Z also. But it's cuz there's a amp wire that I run through the door jam. So it doesn't get that wet. It usually happens when it REALLY pours. Right now with the snow and such, it doesn't really happen. It's a pain finding the source of the water....

not that hard really, you just use a garden hose, and have someone in the car watching for it (makes it alot easier if the interior is gutted)

My main problem with water getting in was when it poured is the window seal on the drivers side was water tight, so a lil would get through and soak my drivers door

mine was the back part of the t-top, would leak causing the floor to be soaked

98CamaroZ28 01-20-2008 02:11 PM

but the water isnt just under my drivers seat, its soaked under my rear seats as well on both sides, so Im thinking I have a moisture leak somewhere under the car, im going to put it on ramps and inspect the underside of the car monday.

archemedes 01-20-2008 02:54 PM

check the cowl, and firewall, also the hatch seals. If from underneath the water tends to be very isolated (my '75 had no drivers floor, and the rears were dry as can be)

thanks will do.
