water leak...driver side carpet is wet..
just started noticing this problem...when it rains, the water comes in the driver side...just under the dash, where the obd plug is....ony the one side
i was reading this could be a problem from the sunroof plug? i originally thought maybe the windshield? i did notice the windshield had been replaced about a year ago....just trying to figure out the lines for the drain maybe they're plug or something....i hope i can find a small fix, rather then having to take the headliner down and more $$$$$
any input would greatly appreciated...

There was a post here that had people check under the hood, directly below the windshield for leaves or debris. Under your door there are some drains that could be clogged as well. Sorry for not answering your question directly though.

I also experience water under the mat passenger side, but I read somewhere in here another having similar experience, I guess "aircon pipe/tube" or something was mentioned. But me it has nothing to do with rains - as this happen(s)ed when there was no rains.

That's not good. O well, I just did a search for 'water leaking' and it was one of the top search results.

nothing really, pipes get clogged, you'll have to get it cleaned. not a big problem. but if the carpet is wet like my is. make sure you get it dried out.
