Default Re: Cabin moisture on carpet at the rear of seat floor after heavy rain?

THat would then explain why it's wet in front of the bulkhead behind the seats. Water will run down the roof line and drip down behind the seat. Leaks are tricky. Sometimes the water finds it's way into the cabin through the weirdest of places and then runs down somewhere, even though the leak isn't really right above it.



Thanks for the suggestion, I took a look and the rubber seems to be in good shape and well seated, but I may put some light grease around the edges just in case. I totally agree the leak can come from some far away location, hopefully will figure it out soon, it's expected to rain soon.
