Default Raining....in my car

Every time it rains my passengers side floor in the back, behind the seat, floods up with water. I don't really see any leaking coming from the door or the window though. Maybe it is coming up from under the car? Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem before or have any suggestions where to take it to get fixed?

Thanks,
Lauren

Is your car a roadster or a coupe?

Weird, I had it on my other car but there was a cut on the door seal I just fixed it for $10. Its weird that its on your coupe. Ya go get it checked out ASAP. It cant be from under your car unless your driving over puddles? or is it every time it rains while its parked? Post up some pics of your car, show where the water is at and your passenger side door.

Troubleshooting water leaks is difficult. If you have ever owned a boat you know that water can enter one place. move UP hill, and you discover it at another location.

Tape some paper towels from a roll inside the car.
Wash car.
Look for water on the towels. This may give you an idea where water is entering the car.

A good way to diagnose where it's it's coming from is to get in the car windows up, and have some body spray it with a water hose, and you look for leaks/wet spots, and go from there. However if you still have a warranty on the car take it to Nissan.

I had the same problem. Look at the window seal around the outside near the bottom right on that side. It is kind of shitty and overlaps, but sometimes it gets pulled up and doesn;t seal anymore.
