Replying to: gande96 (Oct 17, 2004 3:11 pm) I don't know if you ever got help for this so sorry for just now sending this info. I, myself, just recently had this problem and when I went to the dealership, they wanted to charge me at least $170 to replace some "seals". I don't think that was necessary and I didn't want to waste $170 so I searched this site and saw responses from others like jam407, markdisalvo, and grnchrysler200. As the others said, you have to "unplug" the dirt that gets stuck and keeps water from draining. The trick is not only to find the plugged spots, but to know what they look like. They are not actual plugs that you remove. Once I finally found them last night and used a paper clip to clean them as jam407 said, water came out like a fountain. The plugged holes are located along the length of the bottom of the car. When I got a mirror and looked at them, the plugged spots reminded me of how the pen holder in your center console looks. It is a number of hill-like spots. You insert a paper clip inside (even though it may not look like there is a hole) and if you have any water in there, it will come out. Another way that I identified the spots was that they look like mini flared spots where I thought I had just hit the bottom of the car and caused the two metal plates to slightly separate and bend.

Replying to: jakeandmuffy (Oct 20, 2004 8:47 am) I had the problem with standing water on the floorboard with my 97 sebring. On the under body of the car there are drain holes. They are right when the weld is at the bottom of the door. It looks like a break in the weld, there is I think 4 on both the driver and passenger side. They are just big enough to fit a flat head screw driver in them. Mine were clogged with dirt I cleaned the junk out of it with a screw driver and have never had a problem since.

Replying to: grnchrysler200 (Oct 05, 2004 1:51 pm) This information was very helpful i had the same problem on the left side.I would like to add one thing i discovered.Beside the 5 or so sections where the water is released in the seam of the rocker panel also there is a large hole in the rear covered by a rubber flap.This seems to be the last place the water can be released and mine was full of small leaves dirt etc so be sure to check this too

Replying to: b62duck (Jun 18, 2005 3:52 pm) Are the holes on the door itself or on the body of the car? Thanks!

Replying to: krystenliz (Oct 26, 2005 6:32 am) I had the same problem,tried a method outlined somewhere on this forum: ..."use a paperclip to unclog the drain channels underneath the rocker panels on the passenger side." It worked..water came rushing out and haven't had a problem since. And, the car was parked outside during a 3" rainstorm!!! Replies to this message: davyd60 (Oct 27, 2005 4:17 pm)

Replying to: cg33 (May 12, 2005 11:16 am) I've had the same problem with my '96 Sebring conv. After taking it to a dealership twice for repair, it continued to leak. One day I was cleaning the tray behind the rear seat and noticed two weep holes, one on each side. They were both clogged with debris. I cleaned them out, and haven't had a leak since. Hope this will be of help to some of you with the same problem. Replies to this message: dannyrayscott (Mar 20, 2006 10:01 am)

Replying to: willtell (Feb 12, 2006 3:00 pm) There is a seam under the doors where the body is welded together. In this seam are weep holes or slots. Take a small piece of wire and clean these out and water can drain from the body.
