Having a weird water leak issue. It started about 5/6 weeks ago, I noticed the the carpet on only the RR floor board was wet. After it would rain, I could open the door and literally a half cup of water would spill out from between the car and the door, the rubber seals holding the water. I thought....it must be the sun roof drains or the antenna gasket as it was deteriorated. So I dropped the headliner, replaced the antenna gasket, poked the drain tubes with some weed wacker line, put some silicon tape around the hose/connector and then zip tied the connector to the hose---there was no plug or even mildew in the tubes. I did put down some baking soda and moisture absorber to soak up the water (it was not a lot or water.....but enough water to have a wet carpet). Well it rained a lot last night and decided to check it out.....the carpet was wetter (even some area where the baking soda was no more).....opening the door dumped more water. I noticed a lot of water coming from the rubber gasket around the door that is on the car.....like it was a steady slow stream. The gasket is in one piece (no cuts or tears). When I do fold back the rubber on the door, there is water in between but only on the bottom and not along the sides, so it's not coming from above.
I did start parking my car outside in March.....would there be any drain plugs that could get plugged up? If so where?
Thinking of removing the RR door skin to see if there is some moisture/wetness inside the door. Thinking water could be coming in around the window, leak down through the door and then find it self between the door and frame and then over saturate the gasket and then spill over to the carpet......or am I over thinking?
Other than headliner being dropped, no other changes.....but it was leaking prior to dropping the headliner.
Thanks in advance.
