After reading through the post's it all started to make sense. I have replaced all 4 regulators on the windows of the car (another) fine design flaw. After re-assembling the door panels it didn't dawn on me that the water panels needed a new dose of sealant. It's been a rainy fall in the Chicago area and winter is right around the corner. The moisture inside the car is bad. Sucked out as much as I could but my windows are all fogged up every morning. Can't imagine what it will be like when it's frost. Removing the panels should be a snap now that I am a pro at it. I'm pretty sure the carpeting and padding need to be remove to make the car habitable again. Any suggestions on best place to get new carpet ? Now it's on to my next Pontiache issue...Drivers window is the only one that works. Any suggestions ? Thanks again for all the tips.

Replying to: lahu417 (Oct 20, 2009 4:34 am) Are you sure it's coming in the door? Do you see water running out from under the inner panel on the painted metal at the bottom of door and dripping on the door seal?   Or do you have a sunroof and the drain tube that goes down the windshield pillar and through the floor by the emergency brake has disconnected?   If it's the door it's the inner plastic layer that should be caulked with a butyl caulk and shaped to direct water into three V-s and the drain holes back toward the outside of the door and out the drains on the bottom that are OUTSIDE the rubber seals around the entire door. I have pictures if you use your carspace email (upper left corner of this page in green striped area--it says My Carspace. I can send to your carspace email.

Replying to: pontiache (Nov 03, 2009 12:22 pm) People dry out their old carpet. It's best to remove from car (remove front seats) and then you remove the rubbery undercarpet. Hang them on clothesline on sunny day... It's that underlayer that's hardest to get dried without taking out of car.   You don't say what year car you have. Some people have found when driver's door module can't communicate with the other three doors on the network it's a connection in the line between the 4 that joins under the driver's front seat. The connection corrodes on cars with water hanging around under there (sounds like yours at least now) and the networking from the driver module doesn't get to the other doors. Do the power door locks work on the other doors from the driver's door? I'm not sure if that's also networked, but the window problem has been found to be a simple corroded connection by a few people. Pull the carpet back and try to find the line under or among the power seat rails. Replies to this message: pontiache (Nov 04, 2009 7:34 am) ler29th (Nov 07, 2009 12:53 pm)

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 03, 2009 12:55 pm) Yea, now it makes sense. The wet carpeting and underlayment. The passenger and both rears do not work from their individual switches and do not work from the drivers door module. Will check the connection under the seat. Also; thanks for the heads up on the drain tubes issue. We'll check those out as well. Pontiache Replies to this message: ler29th (Nov 07, 2009 12:53 pm)

Replying to: pontiache (Nov 04, 2009 7:34 am) I'm going through a lot of the leak issues with my 03 also. Supposed to have been fixed under warranty several years ago. Remember, the battery cavity under the rear seat fills with water from the passenger side and can overflow into the drivers side on turns as well as run back out under the carpet on the passenger side. My leak is not through the doors but comes in through the front. All I have to do is run water down the windshield to have it flow onto the floor in the right front.   Any ideas here?
