Heavy Rain= Passenger floor soaked- Problem solved
Had quite the storm here last week and woke up to water sitting above the carpet on the passenger side. Mild panic attack, I removed the seat, carpet and dash to find out what happened. It appears that the front windshield was replaced and the "batten" used in the cowling was not properly put back in. Water flowed heavy enough to force its way under the batten and dropped straight into the air intake. I find it odd though that there are no rubber seals around the air intake as a backup (I made my own seal now). The water flowed into my cabin air filter and then sat in the blower and dumped onto the carpet. Everything has been shampooed and cleaned up but just wanted to share my experience...
Now that very small leak down the tweeter on the passenger side issue... I think the weather stripping isn't pushing against the window enough. I noticed a plastic piece that was snapped that helped secure it to the door from the inside. Next project will keep you posted.
