Water under rear seat...help
I keep finding water under my rear seat after it rains. It's only on the drivers side. Today it was pouring and I saw water on the rear pillar near the left rear shoulder belt opening. I flipped the bottom of the seat up and found about 2-3 cups under the seat.
Is there a drain tube from the sunroof that runs down through the rear pillar?
The dealer removed the headliner about 3-4 months ago to repair a rear antenna amp. Maybe the knocked the drain tube loose.
Anyone have any tips for pulling down the headliner on the drivers side to look for a loose hose (if there is one)?
Thanks,
Chuck

I would suggest maybe opening the sunroof and pouring water in the trough around the opening. If you notice water leaking in again, you've isolated the problem. Take it back to the dealer have them correct it.

Or you could always go through the car wash or one of those do it yourself wash bays..then sit in the car and see if the water comes in etc...water leaks are hard to find, but i am sure that you can isolate your problem by doing that.
