    Rain Rain....water In The Car.

    so its been raining cats and dogs today. thank God in heaven i didnt drown out on the street to my house. but i did notice a puddle on my front passenger side. it seemed to be coming in from the dash area and the only thing i can think of is the weather stripping along the front windshield is shot to hell. do you think this would cause water to drip in?...(more like pour in) i could hear it swooshing around.

    the wife got me a shop vac for fathers day so the puddle is gone and no damage was done (that i noticed so far).

    It could be a clogged sunroof drain or the drain by the battery.

    check the grommet by the hood release cable. I had about 4 inches of water in my car once because of it.
