The other day when it rained real hard I got a good bit of water on my passenger floor. I have rubber floor mats and there was an overflowing amount on it…and a ton went onto my carpet. I shopvacced most of it out and thanks to decent weather on Sat it is pretty much totaly dry. My question where can it be coming in from and how do I fix it. I was thinking the heater vent? Keep in mind it was all water and no coolant…so that would eliminate the heater core right? Any help will be appreciated.

It is a 98 Grand Prix w/o moonroof. Is there a drain that can be clogged infront of the windshield?

Same thing happened to my S-10 last week. Only on the driver side, so I guess it’s the door seals. The driver side seat was wet but not the passenger side. That’s the only time it’s ever happened.

I had a new door put on when it was wrecked into. I checked the carpet right around the door it it seemed dry. There was a ton of water on the rubber floormat so it overflowed…so I am thinking it is coming from firewall/cowl area

im gonna bet on the rubber rain deflector under the plastic piece that presses against the windshield. it usually falls off n lets rain into the blower motor, and then on the floor. i jus took the plastic piece off and spray glued the rubber strip back on. no leaks anmore

u wont have to do anything to the blower motor. it is the cowl cover. it is held in with a bolt and 2 screws. it justs lifts out n u will need to reposition the rain deflector under it on the body of the car. u will see wut i mean when u get the cover off.

chad -ask tom or ed in the body shop but im pretty sure gps leak through the door if the vapor berrir isnt atachhed right.  
bics if its on the same side you just had work on i would pull the door panel off and check that and water test it.

another thing to do is pull down the cover under the glove box n see if that is wet. that is the blower motor behind the glove box.
