Not as likely, but it could be plugged up sunroof drain holes.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: water on floor board of Jeep Liberty

It is most likely coming from a dried up or improperly installed window seal at the bottom of the windshield (under the wiper trim)

Take the trim off and caulk yourself - or have the entire seal replaced.

SOURCE: Water coming in to front passenger floor when it rains

The heater/airconditioner box under the dash has a drain hose to allow condensation to drain when the air conditioner is running. If this hose gets plugged, rain may accumulate in this box also (if it's raining heavily), as it comes in through the fresh air intake.

Look on the engine side of the firewall, probably on the passenger side, for a hose coming through the firewall that is not connected to anything. It is usually short, has a 90 degree bend, and the open end is down. Make sure that the end of this hose is not plugged.

SOURCE: I have a 1994 Jeep Wrangler. After it rains,

First make sure it's not antifreeze which I doubt it is considering it only happens when it rains, it is probaly a clogged drain hose for the vent chamber which is located at the base of the windshied,or it is a clogged drain for the a/c evaporator box, if you can find a small drain hose or orafice under vehicle toward the base of the fire wall under vehicle you could feed a length of wire up through to unplug it, a mud wasp is the usual suspect planting a egg and packing it with mud to seal the deal.

SOURCE: why does the floor on the passenger side get wet

They had this problem in the Neon line as well. Check your door seals to make sure they are sealing correctly. You can do this with a piece of chaulk by rubbing the chaulk along the seal till you have a good layer on teh seal, make sure the area where the seal contacts the door frame is clean and then shut the door. After you open teh door you should see an outline of where the seal made contact. If that is solid you have a good door seal. If the doors are good you will need to start looking for areas where the window seal may have not sealed good and under teh carpet for the drain plug that should be present both inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle.

SOURCE: Water leak on the passanger side of a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport

The first place I would look is the floor board caps. Make sure one or more of them aren't pushed up, allowing water to enter the cabin. Also, because your defroster is probably on while it's raining, make sure the A/C drain plug isn't clogged. It's a small rubber fiting that sticks out from inside the firewall, behind the engine. Simply pull it out and clean it. When you pull it out, you might be surprised to see water coming out of the hole!

Just a couple things to check. I hope this helps! :)

I have a 2003 honda civic ex 2 door. I have a rain leak on the drivers side by the gas/trunk lever. I keep reading it most likely is the sunroof drain. Where is the sunroof drain and how do I get to it to...

It may not be clogged. I believe the sunroof drains run down
the roof pillars and then connect to another hose which exits
through the body behind front fender. Unfortunately the hoses
connect inside the car. Then again this might not be the source
of your leak and water leaks are hard to address. Your dealer
might be your best bet. If the sunroof drains are clogged, Honda
knows entry and exit and they have to be unclogged with compressed
air.

Heavy rain leds to water on drivers side floor

you might want to peel the carpet back and check for hole in the floor board. this is not something you can see just by crawling under to look at. Light has to pass through. Carpet pulls up easy from under the pedals, remove thebottom of the door jam like four screws and then you will know for sure.

When it rains the driver and passenger side floor

If you are sure it's not the door seals, I would take it back to whoever replaced the windshield.

Driver side floor wet. It has not been raining and nothing has spilled. Would this be a mechanical problem

hi assume this water ? you are saying on floor have you ceck your coolant level? if it is low ? there is a possibility that you may have a leak on either heater hose where it connects to heater matrix or the matrix itself has popped a core and is leaking try feeling if carpet is damp around the heater area under dash ?

2007 Civic EX...found the carpet wet...I dried this out and after rain, it is wet again. It is not the slanted part behingd the brake pedal. It is the flat part of the floor...driver's side.

Sometimes tough to find. If it only gets wet when driving, the problem could be in the floor pan...possibly a rubber stopper missing. If it happens when it rains without driving, may be in a door seal or coming thru the windshield gasket. Water leaks also can come in on one side and follow other objects then drip somewhere else, (because of surface tension). You can take a water hose and wet one section at a time to try and narrow down the source of the leak. Has the car had body work done? If so, look at the repaired area. Look at rubber seals around the doors and windows. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

2003 honda civic driver side window fall down

I am guessing you have power windows. Happens to mine sometimes.
Slam the door a couple to few times, see if that doesn't put the window back on "track". I mentioned this to the dealership a while back and they were going to charge about $90 to pop off the interior part of the door and put it back on track. They said it "builds up dirt".
I actually also toggle the window switch a few times to see if it will move slightly and then do my door slam thing a couple to few times. I seem to get this problem when it rains.
I hope it helps.
