Carpet wet - common leak points? Options

[asdrewq]

Hi all,

I noticed my passenger side (RHD JDM) footwell carpet was very wet recently after a heavy rain storm. Are there any common places to check for leaks?
The window seals look ok to me and stays in contact with the glass, and it dosen't look like the sunroof is leaking.

Thanks for any help.

I am planning to write a guide for doing it. I have had a similar experience back in march - my rear sunroof drains were blocked, so when I drove off about 1/2 liter of water would fall down my back from the sunroof housing! A good way to check if this is the case is after rain to slide your sunroof shade cover all the way back, then back out again and see if it is wet. A more professional way is to get a jug of water and pour it in the corners of your sunroof (may need to move car so that it is on the right slope to test each of the 4 drains) and see if water comes out on the ground.

I took HEAPS of photos when I pulled mine out, and can probably have a full write up done in the next couple of days?

In the meantime, I found that reverse parking my car up inclines (allowing all water to drain from the front) stopped my car from getting wet.
