[T3] High rain water leak - was (late model rust repair)


All.

I appear to have a similar leak, except on the passenger side. What could be happening here? We have a lot or rain, and the carpet on this side was soaked. Pulling it back on the vertical surface showed it was coming in from a point pretty high. Driver's side seems dry and fine.

Yes. If it only happens while driving, and if you find a lot of water on the floor 
also, then check to see if there is a sealing grommet where the antenna wire 
passes thru the inner fender wall to the inside of the car. This was left out of 
a lot of cars and this will spray a LOT of water inside in a heavy rain.
