water is getting in my car

[bmccasland]

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.

It's probably just as likely to be the weather stripping on the windshield...and that's not usually obvious

ETA: I think that most car carpet is manufactured to resist mold these days as long as it's not excessive and prolonged. Most moldy smells in a car come from the A/C

clogged hose from the A/C. Even if you're not using the A/C, it kicks on with defrost.

Yep that's a good one too...call Click and Clack

dh's car has a similar leak from the weather stripping around the front window. He siliconed everything and that slowed it down considerable, but if the rain is really heavy it still leaks some. He had to try again but it is aggravating. Good luck,

Years ago, in a previous car, I had leaking from the front window. Took it to a shop and had it reinstalled. They replaced all the weather stripping. It took less than one hour, less than $100, and I never had problems again.

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..
