I started to notice water trickling down the right front
passenger area of my ''98 Saturn SC2 located down by the firewall and inner fender. I''ve poured buckets of water on the outside with the door closed but I''m unable to locate the leak. Is there a possible seal or commonality that goes bad and is easy to replace? I know it''s not the door seal because water isn''t coming down by the door. I removed the carpet and peeled back the trim but I can''t find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated |
A really wild guess would cause me to crawl under the car, and look to see if the drain hose from the air conditioning box is clogged
|
Thanks for the reply. Its not the air conditioner
because I cleaned out all the water, it rained and their was a good 1/4" of water again and I never ran the air conditioner. I tore apart underneath the glove box and stuffed some paper towels to see what gets wet the next time it rains. |
Just a curious question here - is your vehicle equipped with a sunroof?
|
Your sunroof drains are most likely clogged.
|
It has a sunroof. Had problems with it leaking before
but its not wet anywhere along the roof. I''m wondering if its draining down the passenger side and getting clogged somewhere towards the bottom. Would water get in even though its shut? |
Yes it will, that is why they construct them with drains. The line runs outboard and down the roof pillar ... sounds like it is plugged

Thanks again to LowSaturn a picture is worth a thousand words

Yes Thank you LowSaturn, I think I''ve found the source
to my problem. I opened the sun roof to see if water was laying where it was supposed to drain. I then tried closing the sunroof and my neighbor, who was helping at the time, noticed a piece had broken off the right track. That piece is what sucks the roof closed and seals it. Since it was broken it was shutting the roof but wasn''t sealing. Why the water made its way down to the floor without getting my interior roof wet is beyond me. Anyone know of Saturn salvage sites I can request this part from? |
