Leak in my TL

Last week I was going to my car after school and it looked weired on the inside. So, I walked closer and it was all wet on the windows (inside) it looked like the dew you sometimes get in the morning but it was really thick. Well I didn't think much of it I lowered my windows and drove off and it went away and for the last 2-3 days every time I get in my car it smelled really bad. So, today I was detailing my car and I went to my trunk to clean out all the garbage and it was soaked, I could'nt do anything because I was at the car wash so I finished and went home. When, I got home I took off that cardboard carpeted mat that goes on top of the spare tire and in where the spare tire goes there was about 5-6 inches of water. So, I was like what the **** I was pissed I cleaned it out and spayed a whole lotta air freshener stuff and know my car is open outside airing-out. So, I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else.




Sorry for the long post.

Is this a brand new TL or did you buy it used? If used, the prior owner may have an accident and the body shop did not fix the job right. Did the dealer disclose this? If you bought it new, Damn, I have not heard of this before. check around for cracks

I do know that the dealer puts some kind of lubricant on the door seals on every scheduled maintanance. Have you ever taken your car for maintance, not just oil change?? If you didn't your ruber seals might be bad. Sorry to hear that btw.

If your car is still under warranty, I highly recommend that you take it to the dealer to have them take a look at it.
BTW, it never happened to my TL so have it checked out asap.
