Seppuku

The passenger side is flooding with water from about 2 inches from the front of the seat to where the holders are in the door( which are also filled with water ). Im going to take the leather seat out when i can so it doesnt get messed up. Only problem is i cant find where its leaking from. The only thing i havent tried is spraying it down with water and getting in and watching. I know i'll probably end up having to do that but i really dont want to put any more water in their than there already is. Anyone have any idea on what seals fucked up or if its the top it self ? Once i get the top fixed ill have to try and get some new carpet put in since whats in there now is ruined even the panel on the door. :rant:

im a bit lost on where your carpet is wet, where are the holders in the door?

the little pocket things under the handle.

Maybe your window wasnt up all the way and properly seated against the moulding?



I wouldnt get too upset if its leaking, they leaked brand new.

Yeah but it wasnt leaking before i checked it before i bought the car. It just started leaking since the ast heavy rain

when it rains really hard or rains for days at a time, a little water in the car will be a normal thing. It probably always leaked but the previous owner might have kept it in the garage or covered and only took it out on nice days. Check the mounting bolts for the seat and see if they are rusting, if they are rusting dont take the seat out because you may run into problems bolting it back in.

check and make sure all the drains work, there are 2 in the door bottom and in the bottom of the rocker panel. it possible that the rockers fill up and overflow
