We had a really serious rainstorm, with amazingly strong winds last (Friday) night and today, and for the first time ever, a lot of water somehow got into my 2001 Jetta sedan and pooled up on the driver side floor. Mostly in the front, but some in the back as well. The fabric covering on the driver side A-piller was damp (not sopping wet) to the touch from top to bottom. There was an actual wet spot about an inch long toward the top of the A-pillar. Drops of water had run down the end of the dashboard where the fuse panel is located. The car has a sunroof that has never leaked before. I sopped up the water as well as I could with towels, but have not tried to start it yet, nor have I checked inside the fuse panel to see if it took a soaking.
Any thoughts about where and how the water could have found its way in, and what I can do to stop it from happening again, short of puttying up the sunroof? By the way, I have a 2003 Jetta wagon, also with a sunroof, that was parked right next to the 2001, and there was no water in the 2003.
Thanks for any advice.
