First off i have a new 09 gt with 2600 miles. Water is pooling under the driver and passenger floor mats. I've had the car to the dealership 4 times which is about a 160 mile round trip. How should i handle this ?

Does the window go up after you close the door? What do they have to say?

Yes the windows are tight, the dealer first thought it was the air conditioning causing this the second go around they said something had not been sealed from the factory. I can't wait to see what they do next, i dropped the car off yesterday for it's fourth trip to the dealer. I purchased the car at the end of august.

have they pulled the cowl and checked the water drain below the cabin filter ? If not, find a new dealership, you may be dealing w/retards. Did they check for the TSB for this ?

My receipt from the last trip states, Found leaks at right front floor removed kick panel and step plate leaking at upper right cowl. Sealed body seams near fresh air intake and top of cowl pane retested for leaks and found no other after repair.

The dealer called today and stated that the carpet and padding was dry. It had not been driven at all last week, we had a heavy rain tuesday my wife had moved it in our driveway and discovered the mats were wet. She took the mats out and placed them in the garage to dry. I guess six days is not enough time for the car to dry out according to the dealer I'm getting worried about all this moisture in the car, my seat brackets are rusting

Like was said above, has the drain in the firewall been checked at all? It just seems like it keeps getting wet...
If it isn't drying out very well then I would put some sort of heater in there to dry it out faster. Dampness, the longer it lasts, is no bueno
