Alright, so lately i've been having this sweet problem with the rear floorboards, they are ALWAYS soaked. During the summer, the spare tire well was soaked as well, and i pulled the drain plug and i don't have that problem any longer. However, I can't always be pulling drain plugs to fix these problems. Today i pulled up the rugs to see if there was any kind of rust underneath the carpet, and it's fine, all clean, no rust, except that the carpet was frozen solid. Where can this water come from???? any common DSM issues that I don't know about or am I going to have to be pouring buckets of water on the car to find this leak?? help!
 
There are holes on each side of the hatch along the edges. These are drain holes. They are more than likely clogged. You need to make sure they're clear. Try pouring a little bit of water down them and see if they drain. If they don't , un-clog them. There are also four drains for the sunroof, in each corner. They clog up too, you need to make sure these drain as well.
 
The holes in the hatch are clear, just flushed those not too long ago, but i'll make sure and check those- However, there is no water in the headliner, so it leads me to believe that isn't it, but I will check. Do I need to remove the glass to access the holes, or can I just move the glass back?? Thanks in advance. :dsm:
