Water pooling under seats

lkraus said:

I just replaced my 1998 mustangs convertible top a week or so ago. My car smelled as if the rain had gotten in after a big storm so I took out my rear seats and water has pooled underneath them. It looks like instead of dripping into the drainage spot it drips and runs down the side of the frame and goes under the rear seat ( not on the floor behind the front seats, but actually under the back seats). Would I just need to replace the rear quarter panel strips so that it drips in the right spot or is it something else completely?

There is a skirt at the bottom of your convertible top. It is down inside the panels where the bottom of the soft-top disappears.

That skirt needs to be routed inside of the rain channel and drain holes in that rain channel need to be clear.

You have 3 things to look for:

The rain channel
The skirt
The drain holes

If you have a model that has drain [tubes], inspect them for cracks and ensure they are clear.
