When diagnosing a water leak, here's a handy tip. Check the accumulated water. If the water is dirty, look for leaks from the underside of the vehicle (floor, wheelwells, etc). If the accumulated water is clean, look for leaks from the topside of the vehicle (trunk seal, window seal, etc). To find where the water is coming from, shut yourself in the trunk with a flashlight and have an assistant run water over the trunk with a garden hose. You may have to remove some of the interior trunk trim to see exactly were the water is coming from, but chances are you'll find it. Also another common cause of water leaks are from impact damage, so check for collision damage repair. while your in there. -hope this helps.

Remove the light and check the gasket area. You may be able to seal it back with strip caulk.

2012 Toyota RAV4 passenger floor wet after it rains. Leak stains on left side under glove compartment. Doesn't happen every time it rains. I just bought it this summer 2023, when it wasn't raining.

Question edited for clarity, add maker.
Question moved to model category.

Based on our research the RAV4s with wet floors are usually, but not always, clogged sunroof drains or drain outlets. Other RAV4 owners found that the body trim surrounding their windshield or even the fender panel had degraded and failed, allowing water to seep in during heavy rain.

1997 Nissan Sentra when it rains water leaks in on the passenger floor somehow behind the dash Maybe

Don A has an excellent answer, but if you have a sunroof, that is more likely the reason. The pipe runs down between the door pillar and the windshield and there is often a join there which can part. Be careful with compressed air as it can blow joints apart.

2009 altima collects rain water in the tire jack area in the trunk? It comes from underneath or alongside the jack area? Any ideas for the source of the leak?

Hunting water leaks is a pain in the tailbone job to do. I'm assuming yours has the jack in the floor of the trunk, under the carpet.
The spare wheel well is the lowest point in the trunk so the water will collect there regardless of where the leak is. Start with the simplest tools, a flash light and the palm of your hand.
How much water is collecting and how fast does it fill up? Rain water coming up through the floor is unlikely unless the floor is damaged.
First take everything out of the trunk that wasn't in there when it came out of the factory. Take a really good look at the carpet and trunk side liners. Use the palm of your hand and feel the floor carpet for wetness. Your feeling to see if it is wet in a particular area. Using the flashlight look for darker patches as carpets often darken in color when wet. Move to the rear of the trunk and feel the liner on the back of the rear seats. Next run your hand over the side panels where the wheel arches are. This will give you clues as to where the leak is possibly coming from.
If the whole trunk carpet and liners are bone dry the leak is from under the car.
All the doors, the trunk lid and the sun roof are fitted with rubber seals to stop rain and road splashes getting inside the vehicle. Over time these perish and start to leak. Run your hand around the underside of the rubber seal the trunk lid sits on when closed. This is the most obvious place it will leak from. You can do this on each door as well because water can travel a large distance before it finds somewhere to create a puddle. A Sunroof can also leak but they tend to cause puddles in the foot well.
If you get a few dry days you can test for leaks with a hose pipe. Keep the trunk closed and make sure the inside of it is totally dry. Remove any spray nozzle from the hose so it flows at regular pressure. Carefully aim the water so it only flows over the trunk lid. Let it flow for a minute or two trying not to soak the doors at the same time. Turn off the water and leave the car alone for about 10 minutes. Wipe off any excess water on the trunk lid, open it and see if its now wet inside the trunk. Yes? the trunk seal is leaking. You can use this method for the doors and sun roof as well. Door and trunk seals are usually just a 'Push on/Pull off' fit so you can easily change them yourself.

My 2000 ford crown Victoria. Have water on the rear passenger side floor. What could be the problem

Hey Grady..
There are few things that could cause the water intrusion... Is the carpet in the front floorboard wet?.. ..Has it rained recently? This will rule out window seals leaking? Have you opened the trunk and checked to see if water is in the trunk? OK..IF it has not rained, no water in the trunk, AND the front floorboards are wet, then the heater core is leaking...

Why is the drivers foot well filling with water on my 2009 volvo XC60 ?

Try cleaning out the small holes between your rocker panels and the sub-structure. They can be barely perceptible, but if you look carefully under the car, they are actually little channels that direct the water flow out of the car that leaks on during heavy rains. Use a coat hanger or other wire to re-open them and let the water out. If not, the floor will continue to get wet until the rockers rust out. Other causes may be seal leaks behind the glass, or trunk seal leaks especially in sedans.

Condensation inside trunk

You can also have a leak around one of the tail lights, or the rear window seal.
You may need the help of a good body shop to find the problem.
