I have a 99 Grand Prix. I had to replace my windshield over a year ago. Ever since, my floor boards on both the driver and passenger sides are soaked after a heavy rain. Could this be due to the windshield replacement? Maybe glass repairman's fault?

I bought my car in Jan. 06. 1998 Grand Prix. Every time it rains my passenger side floorboard has 1-2 inches of water. No the ac drainage pipe (whatever it is) is not clogged. I had some wires short out 3 days ago and now my ac, radio and display lights will not work. My brother pulled out glove box for a look and found a box, audio amplifier that looks fried, could this be my problem causing the ac, radio and display lights not work. I need help, no one seems to know anything about this problem here. And how do I stop the Leak???!!!???

Meldoy, sister! I had the same problem with my '98 GT! Thought it was a crack or leak on windshield. It was the water regulator inside the bottom of the windshield! It just needed to be set back in place. Have someone remove the plastic plate holding your windshield on (Lower). It's rubber and easy to fix. Don't pay someone to do it you can do it yourself grilfriend!! I HOPE this is your solution! I almost know it is!  Marie

I have the same exact problem with my car... i poured water down the vent grills and the water came ou the bottom like its supposed to... now i jus took it to a mechanic and he said they have to take off the whole entire dashboard and do something with the water heater... i do not understand how all this water can come from a water heater? They want to charge me 325$ and id rather get a simple solution and do it myself.

I have a 99 Grand Prix GT and have the same problem. One day after a heavy rain I was driving and when I made a lefthand turn water started gushing from underneath the dash. I could hear it going through the a/c fan motor. The dealership said it was the a/c drain line and charged me to unstop it. Needless to say, it messed up my blower and resistor, which were easy fixes. The car also now has a musty smell. I still have my doubts if this problem is really solved. I never drive it in the rain anymore. I decided to sell it because i'm tired of worrying with it.

The water is leaking between the plastic that sits on the windshield behind the wiper blades. Behind the plastic is a foam gasket that deteriorates and the water runs down into the heater fan motor and overflows onto the floor. Buy a tube of black silicone and run a bead across the plastic where it meets the windshield if you do not want to take the whole thing apart. It was a problem with my wifes car until I took it all apart to find the problem. Okay now. Stan

I tried using some old weather-stripping I had on hand,but still had some leakage.Yesterday I used some clear RTV silicone sealant adhesive,and ran it across most of the windshield area you speak of.It rained cats n dogs today,but I still have a small amount of water seeping in.I dropped the glove box,and can stick my hand out the rubber door behind there,and there was no water standing there,so now I am stumped as to where exactly it is coming in at.I will put more sealant around the edges if it ever stops raining.I just got the car for new teen driver,and seems we have had more trouble than its been worth.The leak fried the blower fan relay (i think),so now the fan only works on #5,but hate to replace it and have it get ruined too!I am worried the water will ruin the wires,radio,etc.Winter is coming and I NEED to resolve this!
Also,how does one clear the things that run from front to back on each side of top of car? I dont know what they are called,but are tiny drain things.I think I heard someone say once that dealership maintenance people cleared theirs with a long pipe-cleaner thing,and ran it the length of the pipe.Just taking wild guesses now...........
Any more help and advice would be appreciated.reply on here or contact me by email if anyone has any words of wisdom Thanks
