Rain Water Leak...What I did about it.
 

The problem is there is a pool of water in the passenger side foot well from all the rain here is Seattle.

I took the cowl off and there was no blockage. The hole for the blower motor does look like there should be a cover. So I made one out of plexiglass, weather seal, and a lot of duct tape. I also removed a rubber thing from the wall separating the right side drain.

I had to drill holes on the top of the plexiglass because the blower motor can't suck in any air. Now there is no water getting in, but it creates another problem. Apparently covering the hole for the blower motor also keeps all the hot air inside the car. When I turn off the car and leave it alone for awhile, it steams up my windshield and windows and they collect water vapor.

The next time want to drive, I have to wipe them down with paper towel, because turning up the heat and fan wont do the trick.

But hey, it beats a pool of water in the car. Time to design a new cover.

Maybe the wet windows are from the wet carpets drying out. It has to go somewhere.

I would have to say you still have water in your car because the excess moister is more likly your problem with the windows collecting moisture, check the under side of your carpet to see if they are wet, if they are not wet, I would think you still have a water leak

I would agree... the extra padding in our carpets soaks up water like a sponge. It'll take a while for all the water to evaporate.

there are two drains for the cowling, one you cannot see. It is by the long tube. There was about five gallons of water total in my wifes car. pull the carpet up and see. Best thing to do is remove the carpet and let it hang out to dry.I took five days in the Texas heat 100 degrees.Also I got a check engine lite that did not go away until I blew out the computer modules and connector s with air under passenger feet. Had to clear the code with code reader. Plexiglas with holes in it doesn't sound very OEM!

plexiglass might not be oem, but it fixed my problem.
And i've never had to look at it again.

Re: Rain Water Leak...What I did about it.
 

Is there a fix to this yet?

Re: Rain Water Leak...What I did about it.
 

I am currently dealing with heavy rainstorms in Southern California and have a lot of water in my passenger area in front of the seats. At first I thought it was coming from the roadster's side window, but I could feel the water dripping from the underside of the dash. I assume I need to remove the front cowl and that my drain lines are plugged. Where are the drains located under this cowl? Is there one drain at each end of the cowling?

Thanks. Are they connected to hoses? Blow them out and/or slide a coat hanger wire through to clean?
