Default Water in car!!

Just got in my crossfire to find alot of water behind the drivers seat of the car (uk car RHD)? No water marks on the seat or roof, so it must be coming in from the drivers door or maybe from the fuel filler? Also the boot is dry!
Any ideas?

Cheers

My passenger window had a leak.... it was a small leak by the triangle. I had many posts on the issue but I finally got it fixed. The Crossfire window needed a simple adjustment. There should be a height adjustment and a pitch. I bet if you make some slight adjustments the window will stop leaking.

I think in my case the rubber seal got pressed in over the years and formed itself to the glass. The connection wasn't as tight as it used to be for the window up against the rubber. If you adjust the window it will make a better connection to the rubber molding and should solve your problem. I think the Corvette and all frameless window cars eventually have this problem. Just my opinion.....

Could take it to a automatic car wash and look around the inside while its going through ....the leak might show its ugly head then

There is a drain in the upper left and right hand side under your hood up by the windshield. If they are backed up with leaves and debris the water can back up into the interior of your car. IAMFINK knows how to clean these out, I'd suggest that you pm him. This might be where your problem is coming from. A few weeks ago we were discussing this problem with an SLK owner and he had some screens made up that cover those vents and prevent debris from going down in them.

I should add that the front of the carpet (under the dash is dry) and it is also dry at the front fo the door!
I have noticed there is a small square drain hole at the back of the door by the glass and lock which I think maybe my problem?

Don't know about that one? I know there is a drain at the front of the door. PM Pat Fink, he knows about the drain issues.

Don't know about that drain either. But there are drain holes at the bottom of the door. If the water fills up in the door and can't run out, I guess it could end up coming through the door panel into the car. But if the drain is working as it should, the water should be able to get out into the door jam and go outside. If the water is actually coming into the car, my guess is the window. Looks for clues around the car and door for water... you may see something.
