water is getting in my car

[fincsher]

I've discovered that rain water is getting in my car, passenger's side. I found out when I put something on the floor, and discovered that the carpet is wet - since it had been raining hard when I was putting something in on that side, I figured out that it was from the open door. Pulled the floor mat, dried it out, and put a towel down to absorb the excess. Thought I was done. Nope.

The water seems to be coming from the door jam area. I've checked the weather stripping and don't see anything obviously wrong, and I cleaned the little bits of debris. Dried everything off yesterday afternoon. Then this morning, there are dribbles of water again, and the towel I left to absorb anything is very damp.

Any ideas?

Guess I'll be off to the dealership to try to get it fixed when I get back in town next week. Unless y'all can suggest something that I've overlooked.

I don't want mold to start growing in my car. And it's going to be a while before I can count on it to not rain.

This is not the first time I've heard this issue... Definitely you should have to install something that sips water. Find in the ebay market..

Don't fret over it too much. We all have to do car maintenance just like on our bike. I know it sucks when you have to dish out the money tho. It's kinda funny to me how Seattle points out all the little leaks you have in your car though, I went through the same thing when I lived there. I was lucky mine was the gasket around the front windshield (no sunroof) and I put silicon on it and it was fine. My 'new' car is now 20 years old and still running. Having new valve seal gaskets put on next weekend and the oil changed but if you take care of it you will have you car a long time. My car now has 175,000 miles on it; I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 225,000! If this freaking weather would cooperate I could just ride my bike!
