I have a Lexus RX300 that leaks inside on the floor boards when it rains. I have checked the sunroof drains and the drains at the bottom of the windshield. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Heater intake drains are worth checking in case there is a build up of leaves and other debris. Sometimes the drains are accessible from the engine compartment though the modern trend is for rainwater to drain from the heater intake through the inner wings. It is usually necessary with most cars to remove the plastic deck at the base of the windscreen to gain access for inspection/cleaning. With some designs the water level doesn't need to rise much before rainwater will pour through the heater.

Is it only when it rains or when you have the ac on? I had one that the ac condensation drip line plugged up and it would soak the front passenger side floor.

SOURCE: Water leak on driver's side - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant

I was a manager at a Mitsubishi dealership.

There was a "secret warranty" on certain Galants where the firewall seam would fair and leak water into the interior. Call your local dealer to see if your vin qualifies. The fix is to simply reseal the firewall crimp seam with silicone sealant.

Alternatively, sunroof equipped cars sometimes get the drain channels clogged in time. Make sure to clean drain holes and use forced air if necessary.

Lastly, some cars have heaters with pollen filters. If those filters become clogged, condensation can accumulate and overflow into the interior.

If any of these solves your issue, please rate my answer

The ramp up mechinism is not closeing the gasket up tight agaisnt the sealing surface so this is a warrenty issue, take it in and have it repaired by the dealer. If you want asstanice to do it yourself please Post here for detailed instructions on doing it yourself. You would do better in a chat because of the problems you may run into that way you work with just one person. Hope this helps.

Water leaking in my passenger floor board of my 2011 f150

If it is raining or when car is being washed, then you probably have a front window rubber leak. If all the time check if it only happens when heater is on. Probably a heater radiator leak.

Wet floor boards when it rains

If you have a sunroof the hose that allows the gland around the glass window to drain has plugged. Also reported is the rubber hose connection to the drain in the roof gland has also relaxed allowing the water to leak from the connection. This is an easy repair and several videos are available to DIY. If the car sits outside near trees, or has been baking in the sun are the most likely cause .


Hope this helps?

Sunroof drain clogged

You may be able to clear debris out by using a long thin rod and pushing it into the openings on the front of the sunroof drain channels the pouring some water in to make sure it drains properly sometimes the drain pipes become disconnected inside the headliner but try clearing the obstruction first and see what happens.

I am guessing that you recently had a windshield replaced. If so they didn't seal it well and it leaks in there. You can go to a glass shop and have it re-sealed or you can buy sealer at most automotive stores and do it yourself.

The other option is that it is leaking in through the air intake between your hood and the windshield. That is the air intake for your heating and air conditioning. There are drains in the line that can get clogged up. If that is the case the best option is to take it to a repair shop.
