i have a 96 gt. it rained like 3 days straight like a week ago. while it was raining, water started to accumulate on just the drivers side below the feet. by the end of the rain it was like completely wet. i checked the floor plugs and they were all in. there wasnt any holes or anything in the floor. it isnt coming through the firewall or up there because the carpet is dry up there. it only starts getting wet right under the floor mat. when the carpet starts going up right behind the petals it's dry. i checked the water runoff in the fenders and the windshield, it wasn't clogged. i was running the a/c the whole time it was raining, but i checked and it was draining properly. anybody got any suggestions?

And your sure its water and not anti-frezee? JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK lol.. iam sure you would know but i didnt read it above....

Next if you cant not find the source then try and simulate your problem. OK so sit in the car while someone washes your car for ya (I.E your girlfriend lol) then try to see if you can pin-point where the water maybe coming from... only other thing i can think of is to start pulling back some carpet and try again..

Hope this helps and let us/ or at least me how things go.. take it easy man..

If you take a hose to it, start low and work up, so you'll know at what level it starts coming in. I get water in at the front of my driver's side window, above the speaker, but not so bad that I need to do anything about it. Mostly happens with a direct hit from the wash hose.

try the hose method, and also try lifting the black plastic covers between the door and the rocker panels, check for moisture, maybe the water comes in through there?

mine does it to, its condensation from the a/c commin out of the vents for the floor air. dont know how dont know why, but mine does it also, but not always when its good weather out, never really delt with it either. only thing i can figure is it might be like the older rangers. the drain under the cowl ,by the inlet for the outside air to come in on the pass side gets clogged. just have to pull the cowl pannel to check it.
