I've pulled out all the seats and pulled the carpet up just to try and figure it out but when it rains a lot a pool of water builds in my rear passenger side with the surrounding area being bone dry.
I've also noticed that under the glove compartment is also getting wet but I don't see any line of water running from the front to the back to connect the two.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

did the 2nd gens come with sun roofs?
maybe the sunroof drain is clogged?

Hi
Yes It does have a sunroof I forgot to mention I've tried covering the sunroof but it still seems to get water in it.
The cover what big enough to cover just the top of my car.

if you have everything apart, close all the windows/doors up, jump inside and have an assistant run water on key locations. I would start with the rear windshield but below the roof. perhaps the trunk seal is compromised and that's allowing water in and running down and into the rear? if you see nothing after several minutes of running water there, move to the running water over the roof.

I'll have to see if I can give this a try. I don't really have a external hose hook up atm due to plumbing reasons. Maybe my neighbor would let me use theirs. If I'm lucky :/
Think I may try adding some color dye to key spots to see if I can find the route the waters taking.

Run the one from the backyard? Go to the "wash station" where they have sprayers and have your buddy help you but sparying the car from the outside.

My house only has one in the front actually. That's just how they make houses here 🤷
Guess I could put the driver seat back in.

Update: I've been able to track down the front location to the windshield seal. I didn't notice how bad the seal was after my last windshield replacement.

I can see the water coming inside when I poured the water.

Does anyone know if something under the hood is connected to the same draining hose at the sunroof?
I've heard multiple people talk about the sunroof hose coming out of place. Maybe that would explain why it still drained inside my car when I had the sunroof covered.

Side note: Would these be considered the windshield company fault or mine? I ended leaving the country a little while after getting it replaced and once I got back 4 months later my car was totally F....

That could be the metal A pillar joint the meets the body of the chassis. Its on the top corner of the passenger side windshield. If you take turns like your a formula 1 driver, it may split enough to seep water in. This happened on my Madmax TL. I got to it and used silicone and that solved it.

The Sunroof has four drains one at each corner of the sunroof. If you open the sunroof and look at it from above you can see the four holes. The two front ones route down the respective sides and out the wheel well IIRC.

I started having wet floor mats on my driver's side. Took me a while to track it down but it was the drain tube I found that was disconnected around the parking brake area behind a plastic panel.

If it was a front drain on the sunroof it would soak the corresponding side front carpet. Not sure where the rear drains go.
