So I’ve read and searched and read some more and i think I’ve got it narrowed down to the windshield gasket but I’m not 100% sure where or how my front floordboard is getting DRENCHED. Both driver and passenger side is pretty soaked, as we have been getting absolutely dumped on with rain the past 2 days. Hopefully someone that has laid their eyes on this exact problem can help from my photos.
As a prerequisite to my request here’s what I’ve done to narrow it down to what I think is the windshield gasket. Make note that the headliner is not wet in any location whatsoever.
1. Cleaned out sunroof drains, front and rear at all corners. Poured hot, cold, even soapy water (I read that helps?), and once I thought I was 100% clear of debris I blew 50 psi air in the fronts from top, then from the bottom for the rears while a friend watched the pan from up top to make sure no “trash” came out. Poured water in and made sure it flowed out quickly without building up in the sunroof pan. All drains flowed easily.
2. Silicon the gaps in the sunroof channel towards the front that tend to let water overflow and allow water seep through the screw that holds the channel down. No water was present here before but now im 99.9999999% sure it’s not coming from here after silicon.
3. Checked to eleminate the possibility that the heater core is leaking. My coolant level is perfect, the water in the floor doesn’t have a strange color or odor, and the carpet is drier (more dry?) towards the transmission hump. 100% sure that can’t be the source.
4. My ac drain is draining properly. Plus my seven mile drive from the shop to home wouldn’t allow the amount of water that’s gathering up, and doesn’t it explain why my drivers side floor is soaked.
So, After all that, I laid in some water drenched floorboards with a flashlight and searched near and far, high and low and couldn’t tell where or if the windshield was leaking. Does anyone have photos or know where the water runs to get to the floor from the windshield?
Attached is the drivers side floor to simply show how far and how much water has soaked the carpet. Then the drivers side kick panel, showing that the water isn’t simply dripping from under the dash but coming from somewhere beside the rocker panel.
I planned on trying the roofers silicon solution, but I’ve simply ran out of time for the night and have gotten siriously frustrated.
