Car Leaking Help
Today i went to class and i pick up my back pack from behind the driver seat and it was all wet. I started to feel the back driver seats floor and the floor was wet then I went to check the driver side floor and it was also wet too. I was wondering if this has happen to anyone before? how did water get in my car? I only have 9000 miles on it so its pretty new.

The dealer (or most any shop) can clear them for you, likely under warranty. You'll definitely want to get this done, and have them get the water up with a shopvac or whatever or you'll end up with mildew in the carpet.
Of course, my car was 15 years old with 200K+ miles and saw a lot of wet summers. Yours only has 9K miles - seems like a short time for these to clog up if that is indeed the problem....

I agree, though, does seem early.

thnx everyone I brougt it to the dealer and they gave me a Hyndai sonata loaner 
. and my car is been in there for about 5 days now. they said the took out my dash. they also said they are waitng for a honda autobody speacialist to look at it. so im still waiting. im pretty sure its not my sunroof thats the problem. Last time I was washing my car some water was dripping from my gas pedal so maybe it could be the winshield.
