Wet Floor Passenger side

rvdv · 12-01-2011, 08:55 PM

Does anyone know where water might be possibly coming in, just had 2 days of hard rain and noticed that the passenger side floor is soaking wet. Its an 08 that I just purchased.

Windshield cowl cover.

I had the same thing happen on my E46, so take this for a grain of salt.

I pulled down the headliner and found the rubber elbow that connects to the sunroof drain disconnected. Water ran down the healiner, down the A pillar and onto the floor.

another popular area is the rubber door seals as well as the vapor barrier in the door. If it has had any work done in the door that could be the culprit.

Thanks all, found it was the door seal at the bottom.
