Hi,
Looks like your cars front drain cowling have rusted away, it is inside the wiper base linkage, where water from windshield flows down and drains at bottom corner.

Most water leaks come from around the windshield area. Has the windshield been replaces recently? If so it may not be sealed properly. Another area where water may penetrate is through the cowling area under the wiper blades/arm where fresh air enters the car. There are water drains under this cowling allowing water to drain and if they are plugged with leaves/debris, water will enter the vehicle. Is the vehicle rusted around the windshield area? If so, suspect this to be the source of water intrusion. Most glass/windshield repair companies will diagnose water intrusion problems
NO, it is most likely getting in through the cowl vent area under the wipers. Normally the water drains out the inner fender, but if its clogged with leaves and pine needles, it wont drain and will fill up past the cool air intake and get into the cabin. I would pull the cowl vent grille and make sure the drains are not clogged.
The rear window is bonded and i suspect this bonding has been damaged by water ingress then freezing and opening the gap even more ,use a hose pipe to have a good look and in the meantime drill a 3/8 hole either side in the rear floorwell to let the water out and to stop the floor fro corroding away ,yes iam expecting a remark from other experts about my methods but you cannot beat a good drain hole in the floor or the spare wheel well .Yes iam a fleet fitter who repairs things and not a dealer lackey unit changer who only fits all new parts to keep their bonus pay up and the boss happy
had this problem and the answer was the liner inside the door was loose or torn allowing rain to get through to the outside. dealer fixed it and no problem last eight years
If it doesnt have a acsess panel to remove in the trunk you will have to pull carpet cover back to get acsess to plastic wingnuts or bolts holding it in. Hope this helps
Drivers side kick panel(down by the hood latch) where your left foot is. There is also one under the hood by the drivers side strut tower. If nobody lost it there should even be a fuse puller in there. On the back of the fuse cover is a diagram that tells you which fuse is which.
HI. Two possible causes here. There may be a crack in the weather stripping on the windshield assembly ,or the heater core has ruptured, thus causing the coolant that flows through this device to leak out onto the cabin floor. The core is mounted under the dashboard. Inspect the hoses that connect to the core. If they are not loose, and the clips are tight, the core may be damaged. Check the weather stripping on the windows, and front windshield for cracks and weak points, as well.
Replace the heater core if the leak is visible in the general area of the core device.
