Water in passenger floor

I just went through the car wash today and all of a sudden I had a mini flood of water coming from the floor of my passenger seat. I looked and it seemed to be dripping from somewhere under the dash. ANY help would be appreciated.

read up and get your claim in.

Also read the numerous threads where thousands in damage have resulted from car washes:

Now that the water has traveled under the carpet, to prevent damage to the numerous electronics under the flooring, its best NOT TO START the car again, and have it immediately towed to the dealer and dried out. If you power it up when the electronics are wet, it can cause thousands in damage.

Depending how its parked, even letting the tow truck driver start it to get it on the flatbed can cause damage. If you can get someone, like an auto detailer, to dry it out where it currently sits that would be best.
