SC2 rain leak problems
 
Rainy weather problems:
My driver's side floorboard fills up with water when it rains. I duct-taped around sun-roof, and still get huge amounts of water inside. I know some sort of hose could be clogged. It's a '98 SC 2. I pulled off side kick panel on left...all I see is electrical stuff. How do I find the right hose? Pictures or diagrams welcomed!

Do a search .......... type in .... oh lets say sunroof leaks. I bet somehow you'll find what you need.

If you had done a search on sunroof drains, you'd have gotten the following

Sunroof may not be culprit...
 
I duct taped around the sunroof and still get inches of water inside when it rains...

wow that must look pretty.

So you're not even gonna bother trying to unclog the drains.....

whatever

Hmmm -- sealed the edges of the sunroof, and water still pours in ... not a good thing. I'll assume (for discussion purposes) that is not your water entry point.

Look carefully along the edge of the front window on the driver's side. Make sure the weatherstrip seal has not (1) pulled loose; (2) shrunk from sun exposure; (3) just plain missing.

Now, open the driver's door, and check the weatherstripping along the leading edge of the door post, and the area along the top of the door. Also, check the fit of the door...

put someone in the car and spray it with a hose (the car, not the person).
They should be able to see where the water is coming in if it is as much as you say.

I don't think that idea is to difficult to comprehend........oh and if you need more light use a portable light ........ like a battery operated flashlight. The person in the car may have to move around with eyes open to see anything.

do it outside when there's no moon at all -- this will improve the contrast when the portable light emitting device is used to locate the dihydrogen oxide leak.

I would recommend against using a lighter inside the vehicle for this test, as an explosion could occur if the water watcher in the car passes concentrated wind......
