SOURCE: there is a water leak

Your A/C drain hose may be plugged. If so, the condensate from the A/C box will leak onto the floor, and eventually soak the rear carpet as well. This is a common issue. It is under the glove box, close to the passenger floor. Remove it and make sure that it is open. Alos, always run the A/C in the RECIRC mode.

Water in the trunk can be from a bad trunk seal or poorly sealed taillamp seams

SOURCE: water in rear footwell

Look in the front door frame, there are drains from the sunroof that are possibly plugged.
Squeeze the plastics nipples to see if water or dirt/debris comes out.
I took a 10" piece of metal shirt hanger and ran it up the nipple and alot of **** came out. Solved my problem.

Good luck

SOURCE: 1999 Saturn SL Sun Roof Leaks when it rains

Great solution: Use a 8 foot length of weed eater plastic "blade". You can get a small amount from a hardware supply store. While twisting the strand, insert it into your drains that are located in the corners of your open sunroof hole. Feed the plastic thru the tubing... don't force it, use gentle pressure. Test with a bit of water and look under the car for drainage.

SOURCE: rain water leaks from overhead console (No sunroof)

common problem with these roof racks check for loose bolts holding it on also there are inserts pressed into your roof under the roof rack these threaded insrts tend to come loose or get pulled out use silocone sealant around every bolt and insert.

Kia Picanto Zappa 2007 water getting in
Once you have checked it isn't a car window that is slightly open there is three main reason for water in the foot wells. Sun roof, door seals and heater matrix.
If you have a sun roof fitted, check it is closed correctly. Open it all the way and check the running grooves it sits in for dirt and blockages. There are drain holes in the runners so try cleaning the runner grooves with an old toothbrush.
Open the front door on that side of the vehicle. Take a good look at the rubber seal the door presses against when it is closed. Any damage or splits can create leaks into the vehicle. Check the rear door seal for the same thing. If you can, check all the other door seals and the trunk/boot seal as well. These seals are usually a tight fitting 'push on' type which you can replace yourself.
This will sound silly but does the 'water' smell of anything? The heater matrix is under dashboard and is what supplies the heat to the heater blower controls on the dashboard. If this is leaking the leak will have a sweet smell as this is coolant from the engine. This is a big repair as you often have to remove the whole dash to repair it.

On my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the passenger side front floor, after a rain has water standing . The Jeep has never been wrecked and never had the windshield replaced.
A simple test is to feel around the carpet in that footwell. See how far up under the dash the carpet is wet. Does it only happen after rain? Do you have a sun roof fitted?
If the carpet is only wet low down on the floor the most likely reason is either a perished or damaged door seal rubber, a faulty sun roof seal or the drain channels for the sun roof are clogged up. Check the footwell in the back as water always flows and settles at the lowest point in the vehicle.
If it is high up and nearest the middle of the dash you issue could be the heater matrix under the dash but as it seems to be only on one side this might not be the issue.
Door seals are a simple case of pull the old one off and push the new one on and they don't cost silly money to buy. Heater matrix issues, unfortunately, usually involve taking the whole dashboard out to get to it.
Hope this helps.

My 2006 Denali truck gets water in the back passenger floor
Water in a rear foot well is usually from one of 4 places. A leaking sun roof, (if fitted), a leaking window seal, a leaking door seal or the feed pipe for the rear window wiper sprayer, (If one is fitted). Does it happen all the time or only when it is wet rain soaked weather. Door and window seals only leak in wet weather.
First check all the windows are wound all the way up And any sun roof is closed properly.
A way to test for the door and window leaks is to first dry everything out as best you can and then try this.
Use a garden hose set at a low pressure and wet just the door edges on the side that leaks. Try not to wet the sun roof as you can test that next. Use plenty of water. Walk away for 20 minutes or more to give the leak a chance to happen. When you return get into the vehicle from the OTHER side. Check to see if the carpet is wet again. A leaking window seal will often make the door card wet as well. Use this same method for checking a leaking sun roof.
The rear window wiper sprayer pipe runs under the carpet down the middle of the vehicle and will make the carpet wet in dry weather as well as when wet.

There is water leaking inside above my passenger side door when it rains pretty hard?
is the water leak allowing the water to wick up into the headliner or is the headliner getting wet without water coming past the weather stripping around the door?

If it is wicking then fix the weather stripping.
If the water is getting headliner wet with out passing the weather stripping then you have a leaking sun roof.

You can the door seal by sitting in the car while you have some spray water (garden hose) gentle at the frontal and upper door seal.
If not leak there inspect seal of sun roof and real seal with correct type of sealant.

you have 2 drains in the front that go down the a pillars and dump near the fenders.

The rear usually go down the B pillar or C pillar and out thebottom near the rocker panel.

Blow them out from the top with compressed air and make sure you have air flow at the exits.. Open the roof to see drain holes in the four corners.

There is a water leak somewhere in my 98 toyota camry that leaks into my passenger side floor. There is no sun roof and no visible leaks from the windows or doors. Any thoughts? A/C leak maybe? water...
I am the original owner of camry xle 1998 with wet floors. In 2000 I had drivers side door seal leaking at welt. Removed old door seal and new weather strip on drivers side installed. The door panel was never wet, but wet at bottom of door where there are drain holes...slowly leaking under carpet.
In 2001 later water again. Coming from overflowing A/C evaporator-drain plugged/ tank full of debris. Removed evaporator, cleaned + drain cleaned.
In 2003, driver door seal against window rotted. Removed door panel and found leak at window belt molding at the mirror joint inside + out. Lots of mold under carpet needed to replace! Made a fuss at dealers for reacurring problem and they replaced the carpet for free.

The sunroof drainage gets blocked.

your footwells will fill with water - even under your seats right to the back seats footwells

See two 10mm holes in front sides when sunroof is open.
a) push a flexible cable down from the top - it comes out just behind the front wheels. (use electric three core cable - or TV aerial cable - a hanger is too short) - you need about a metre and a half)
b) remove the inner mudgaurd behind the front wheels (2 screws) you will see the end of the plastic drainage pipes - remove the blocked black rubber cup at the end of these - why they are there is anybody's guess)
