Just wondering if anyone has had(or knows anything about) interior water leaks.

I took my 08 Z out tonight to meet a friend for dinner. When i parked, I noticed a water stain on the cloth roof(damp to the touch), located on the driver side pillar. Its where the plastic piece(pillar trim) meets the cloth roof.

I inspected my windshield, and visually saw no cracks, or weather stripping damaged.

I can't really sow how it could have entered though the door/jam.

I will say the car has sat for about a week prior, without me driving it. We have had a decent amount of rain in that time. My drive to the restaurant, the windows were up the whole time.

I'm just baffled. If anyone has any insight, it would be appreciated. thanks!

 

yeah i have a slight leak on drivers side on my 04 Z....its weird it only happens some times???i think the window dose not go up all the way till its completely sealed??
its not a big deal for me though because its very little leak and some times it dosent make it.

 

yeah...its not that its too bad.
like i said, the car had been sitting in my driveway for about a week, and we had some fairly bad rain storms.

first time its happened though, so i figured I would look into it here.

thanks for posting.

 

yup thats exactly when i first noticed it...when it rained for like 3-4 days and didn't move the car from driveway..that's when the water manged to get to my carpet near he left of the seat..it hasn't rained any more and probably wont because im in cali and the HOT summer is coming.. but yeah last time i noticed it wanted to leak was when i washed my car(its rare though?) you can tell by looking at the top of the window when the door is closed you will notice some water/vapor in between the rubber lining and the window.

 

Cool.

I've got the windows downs right now, letting it completely dry out.

Gonna do a "hose test" tomorrow morning, just to make double check. i'm crazy like that.

 

haha..hey you gotta do what you gotta do man...Good Luck.

 

Eh my whole carpet behind my driver seat gets soaked when it rains and it sits. Im going to take all the interior pieces out and trace down where this is coming from its kinda frustrating and plus I dont want mold or rust inside my car.

 

sucks man...check if your windows go up completely...then look at all the silicone on the out side of your car..maybe you need to reseal some??the sun eats up the black silicone.

 

I also have this problem. I let the Z sit outside for 2 days without moving while it was raining. I opened the door and the smell of wet carpet hit me and sure enough the carpet behind the driver's side seat was soaked. I also hear some air coming through the driver's side window at highway speeds.

 

sucks man..have you checked your windows??do they go up 100%??
i know mine dont there like at 98%

 

 

Did you ever find a solution, I'm having the same issue but the water is leaking through the A pillar and the window
