Replying to: lahu417 (Oct 20, 2009 4:34 am) 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) 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.

I have noticed this is a common thread but I am a newbie and need help. I have a 2001 with a sunroof and have water leaking into the passenger side. It started a couple months ago. The car will leak when it sits but not all the time. It leaked yesterday in the parking lot but not in my drive last nigh (I vacuumed the water out last night). I checked it and no water this morning. I left for work (35 minutes drive) in the pouring rain and when I got to work the rear floor was full of water. Almost 1/2 inch on top of the carpet. I have checked the doors and under the dash for leaks and found them dry. I did notice my trunk carpet was wet this morning also. Any ideas of where else to check. Need some serious help with this one.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 22, 2008 4:40 pm) 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 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, xxxx  carspace.com Some may not receive email from outside Edmunds Carspace. But it works sending emails within Edmunds. Good luck
