Exclamation i sprung a leak!

it seems like my car is holding rain water! is there a known issue with F-Bodies collecting water inside the car on the passenger side and have it puddle up behind the passenger seat when it rain really hard? I pulled up the passenger side carpet and sheck to see if i had any water dripping down the fire wall...none. I check the hole that my 4-gauge amp wire is running through...dry. I have underbody lights on my car and i check the mounting holes that i already sealed...the r dry inside. the water seems to come from the front of my car and settle in the back, but nothing inside the car seems wet. the plastic behind my middle speaker isn't wet neither is the metal behind it. i thought i had a leaky t-top, but as far as i can tell, it isn't. It seems that rain water now comes from the ground up! lol.

Is there a "known" spot that these cars leak? Maybe a part of the T-Tops that is leaking that isn't obvious? my car is pretty stock, with the execption of some minor bolt-ons (guesstimate 360 HP @ flywheel), so i dont think i have chassis flex or warp.

i give up, ill just wear a bathing suit when it rains....

Help!

Sounds like you should check your heater core behind your dash on the passenger side,

If it is a 4th gen t-top car the weather stripping on the door running down your pillar and front windsheild has drain holes check to see if their blocked up..

Also check the cowl under the hood where your wipers are to see if anything is blocking the water from draining..
And the hole in the firewall where the pcm is.

did you run any wires through the firewall? Water ran down the wires for my guages, through the grommet, and onto my floor. GE silicone fixed that
