Hi imidazol97,
Can you also send me the guide for drainage repairs?
- 2000 Bonneville
- No sunroof
 
I noticed water on driver's front floor. I pulled up the carpet in the front only to find that it was wet under the seat and on the floor near the rear seat. Again, only on the driver's side. I have removed the seat and am drying the carpet out. But I haven't found the source of the water yet.
 
Is the A/C drain tube in the firewall on the Passenger side or Driver side?
Could water going into the cowl find its way into the cabin somehow?
 
I also noticed that most of the weep holes in the rubber seal around door openings (not on door itself) were not punched completely during manufacturing. I had to use tweezers to remove excess rubber from weep holes.
 
Tonight, I will check to see if water is coming in through the door. Perhaps, I need to caulk....
 
Thanks!

I have the same problem in my 1997 Bonneville. Could someone please send me the fix as well? Thanks.

I sent data to your carspace.com email account.
Go to the top of this page and in the light green bar under the Home in the dark green bar is a link, My Carspace. That is your carspace page which includes and email account. The email address in the account is your username, xxxxcarspace.com
Some may not receive email from outside Edmunds Carspace. But it works sending emails within Edmunds.
 
Good luck

I just checked my Edmunds email account, and there wasn't anything in it. Could you please try again? Or I could just give you my email address and you could send there? Let me know. Thanks!

I have a 96 also, I have had a water problem on and off. I found my answer myself. it may be coming from under the windsheild wiper area. take the wipers off and remove the screen cover, there is a air intake channel about 8 inches x 4 inches under a plastic sheild. I had to modify the sheild. and i also bilt up a lip around the channel with calk (quad). its for exterior siding. I havent had any water problems after i did this modification.

Interesting. Was it coming in on just the driver's side or both? I'll have to have somebody take a look at that.
 
I have water coming in on the driver's side, pooling in the back, and the dealer wanted $600 to replace the rubber around both doors. I'm not convinced that's the issue, although the doors do leak. So now I have a few things to look at. Wish I had a someone handy with these things so I don't have to rely on the dealer or service station.

It was mostly on drivers side, but it came on passenger also. the water damage caused a couple of other problems. (electical). It had corrioded ground wires under carpet. on the drivers side next to the rocker panel. My car wanted to stall out, windows would stop, seats would stop, and the air bag light came on and stayed on. now I have a bad air bag module. I also have issues with my dash cluster. all caused from water. It didnt happen over night.....it was caused from leaking for about ten years.
PS. drill a couple of small holes in floor front and back. this will allow the water to stop building up.

Wow -- I had the same thing. The car stalled out on me about a month ago, and it was due to corroded wires under the carpet. Cost me almost $400 to have that fixed. Replacing the wires also took care of the one rear window that wouldn't go down, but the car still gets wet, and lately my airbag light comes on, too. Does that mean that the airbag won't work?
 
I'm not sure I want to drill holes in the floor -- isn't there a safety hazard with that?
 
I'm not really handy with cars, so I have to figure out who I can take this to. Thanks.

I was told that my air bags wont deploy. Drilling the small holes wouldnt be a safty hazard. all cars come with flood plugs under the carpet and rubber sound deadener. the plugs pop out to drain heavy water. I just drilled a couple small holes where the water built up the most. a couple of 1/8 of a inch size holes. the air bag module would cost over $400.00. I am not getting it replaced. the car is very nice, however I cant keep sticking a ton of money in it.
PS. look for a auto electric garage, and see what they recommend. I hope all info was helpfull, Good luck. John.
