Default Passanger Side floor SOAKED!

Okay so i searched yadda yaddda but Audiforums Search licks my.....

Anyways everytime it rains my passanger floor gets SOAKED nothing else. Just the carpet..The first day it started was real Heavy rain, However i thought it was just from my girlfriend getting in and out of the car with her wet shoes..


Twodays ago(or yesterday) i found out that this was not the case. I was at work from 10-8 got in my car and it smelled bad. Again. Got my CD booklet and the bottom of it is SOAKED. So now my car smells like mildew and my floor is always wet


However i remeber a thread a while back about a sunroof drain? What do i do someone help i would like my car to smell good again and not have me puke from the smell of mildew

The sunroof drain is behind the rear bumper - you need to remove the rear bumper, push a cable up through the line to clear it out until you see it come out by the sunroof.

Do you park your car the the nose lower than the rear? Whats happening is the drain is clogged and the rain is draining down th A-pillar and into the floor panel. Typically if you park it with the rear lower than the nose then the water will run the other direction and the headliner will get wet and stained.

Well my headliner isnt stained at all. Just my floor is soaked. However i was parked with the front of my car on a hill(so the front of my car was pointed down like the front was much lower(angled)

I never really park it with the front of my car up a hill. But if it was drained then the headliner would get wet?? Nothing else is wet in my car other than the floor mat. No where else.


Is there any DIY take off the rear bumper.

I found a little hole that my previous owner had ran the cables for his subs through, there is a plug that is supposed to be on it, right now its just the wires and the plug can't fit, so water drains onto the drivers side floor and soaks it, there may be one on the other side too.

Blast some air through your front sun roof drains the ones that come out by the front door and clear the back ones to. That should do it. Check for holes too like gen2roller said.
