lol, you think thats the only leak?
if you take the spare tire cover off you can see where the drain tube runs, trust me a new tube will not do anything.
anyone who says thier vert doesnt leak isnt leaving it outside all the time when it rains. THEY LEAKED BRAND NEW

My car is outside all the time, i have almost all the interior out and more is coming out now. I hosed the car down yesterday to help out finding leaks and so far thats all i can find. The only problem i've really had is it always puddling behind the pass seat and when i sprayed a little water in the drain spot it all ran in and puddled there. So for now makes sense, while its all out ill do it again and see what else i can find.

I thought I found all leaks once, then it rained really hard one day and I was schooled on how hard it is to actually find leaks, nothing duplicates mother nature except maybe a pressure washer

Anyone know how to remove that damn peice that covers the motors and seat belt and everything? I got all the screws lose and everything else but something on the front is still holding it around where it goes over for the door seal, i thought it was a clip but i cant seem to get it lose and the panel is already cracked so i dont want to break it the rest of the way trying. The FSM isnt helping me much.

Ok i finaly got time and took the panel out today. Found out that the pocket isnt allowing any water to go through the drain tube for some reason. I can see the drain tune connecting. I put my hand into the pocket and cant feel a hole for the tube either was it installed properly? How is it suppose to be.

are you talking about the outside pocket on the top? if thats it those tubes get clogged frequently. dont try to pressure it out bc it will pop the tubes off, which may end up being your best bet anyway, to take them off and blow them out or something.

yeah thats what im talking about. The fabric that the pocket is made of doesnt seem to have an opening for the tube i can feel where the tube is though but its solid. So all the water that runs in is now just leaking out into the inside of the car.

the tubes are clogged somewhere, or there is a break in one of them. follow the lines it should be pretty simple to find it since the tubes are clear

im looking at where the tube connects to the pocket no water even attempts to enter it. Something is messed up somewhere. Im going to attempt and run wire up from the bottom of the car through the tube and see what happens. When i bought the car it was said to have a new top so im wondering if it was done right.
