My Celica, primarily in the colder months (but it does happen in the summer, too), seems to let in water. The carpets in the two back seats and the passenger carpet all get soaked, but not the driver's side carpet. I also get a lot of moisture (it even forms water drops sometimes) on the inside of my front and rear windshield. I know the obvious answer is that my car is leaking in water, but i had my mechanic look at it and he didnt know what was causing it. I'm just wondering if any of you guys have had a similar problem or might know what the cause is, thanks in advance

That would be my next guess too, that it's bad drainage from the sunroof. Same exact thing happened with my g/f's Jetta. Gunk gets in the drainage tube and backs it up, so it's got nowhere to go but the cabin. Hers started with the back seat floor, then the front, and it was actually the drain tube that ran along the A pillar on the pass. side that was the problem. The water just ran down to the back first for whatever reason.
