Soaked Carpet – Rear Pass. Side

[OPTIMO]

I’ve done the searches and I’ve read through the archives but none specifically apply to this problem. The carpet in the [b]rear[/u] passenger side is soaked, as if someone poured 10 gallons of water on it.

Any ideas where this is coming from and if this is a serious problem? Thanks oh wise ones.

just curious if it could be related to the carbon fiber sunroof...

did it rain recently?

I think there are drains on front and rear edge (corners?) or sunroof

[OPTIMO]

That actually could be it. The seal of the sunroof is shot. The car was also driven through the torrential downpour in New England last weekend.

Perhaps I need to check the drains on the sunroof tracks.

PO mentioned getting a one-piece seal. When I called the stealer he mentioned that the one he had listed was a two-piece.

I think you gave me a great path to pursue though.

the leaks that occur up in the front related to the elephant trunk under the hood end up pooling behind/under the passenger seat due to gravity.

Gravity has bested me once again.



I'll check the elephant trunk and the sunroof. This forum kicks ass!

While you're at it, take some thick weedwacker line or lightweight coaxial cable and ream out the front/rear drains in the sunroof.
