Need help with water leak
I have a 97 camaro and i am having trouble figuring out where a water leak is coming from. The water first starts building up on the floor behind the passenger seat. its not just a little bit of water its over an inch. i have checked all the plugs under the car and they are in good condition. i dont think its coming from the t-tops because the weather stripping is in very good condition and it has never been wet around the t-tops. if i dont drain the water right away another puddle forms under the back seat behind the passenger seat. i have that seat taken out so i can see when it fills up. I have taken the passenger seat out and the carpet and soaked the bottom of the car with a hose and could not see any water comeup through the floor.any help would be greatly appreciated i dont want the bottom of my car to rust from all that water. Thanks for your time,
Michael

May want to see if the door drain holes are clear, if they are not the doors fill with water and then overflow inside the car, but it could be from anywhere, including from under the dash.

Dear friend,
The water soak the floor of your car in passenger side, is that right? Well as the z28pete says, check out the drain holes and check too the a/c sistem. When you used that sistem for cooling the interior of your car, and turn it off, water defrost and could fall in the interior of your car soaking the carpet. So take a look in the a/c cooling box inside the car usually stay under the panel and in the passenger side.
I hope i can help you, good luck, Marcelo.

Hey thanks for the help. i dont think its the ac system cause its been pretty cold here in oregon and i have not used the ac in about 6 months. i will check the drain on the door and see if thats it. Thanks again for the suggestions.

my t-top seals are great, however, i have 3 leaks. even though the rubber is in great condition, the leak is comming from where the rubber meets the body. check all of yours, and lightly tug at it to check to see if it pulls from the body. where ever it pulls is most likely where the leak is. i sealed mine with clear silicone house caulk, and its barely noticeable.
