I would tape some news paper up over the sun roof on the inside of the car then put water on the roof and see where the water marks are, just an idea!

SOURCE: there is a water leak

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.

SOURCE: 2001 Volvo V70 with sun roof...car sitting in

Not familiar with the Volvo, but many cars (Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Honda, etc.) have drain holes at the corners of the sun roof assembly. These holes allow water that gets past the sunroof gasket to drain through tubes that carry the water to the bottom of the car, where it exits the car.

These drain holes are prone to clogging. If the Volvo setup is like those cars mentioned, you can see the front drain holes by opening the sunroof and looking closely at the two front corners of the assembly that holds the sunroof. I have used plastic weedeater line to open up these lines. Compressed air can also be used.

SOURCE: 06 hummer sun roof drain hose is draining into

doesn't mean it came loose, it could be plugged. Mine did the same thing. I had to use compressed air into the hole in the catch pan of the sunroof and blow the tubes clean, but then had to remove paneling around sunroof to reconnect tubes after the air separated the tubes from the sunroof. It was no big deal, but took a little time.

2003 STS cadillac leaking water on both driver and passenger floor boards

It could be the sun roof. It also could be clogged drains from the sun roof. It may also be door seals Leaking. It could also be leaking around the bottom of the windshield. A good way to narrow it down is to get inside the car and have someone spray the outside of the car with a water hose. while you look for water leaking inside of the car. If it does it while the ac is on may be a clogged ac drain. however it usually just leaks on passenger side when it is that. well good luck.

Water in floor board passenger side of 2001 jeep grand cherokee. Could it be the sun room drain. If so where is it located?

I had the same problem with my jeep. If you aren't positive that it is your sun roof check to make sure that your doors are shutting completely. One way to check is by pouring water along the crack where your door meets the body of your car. My sun roof as well as my drivers side door had a leak in them and instead of getting the sun roof fixed I had sealant put around the rim of the window and I haven't had any problems since.

Cadlillac cts 2005 sun roof not working - where is fuse box for sun roof

Hi there:

Check Rear Underseat Fuse Block (Passenger's Side) that is located under the rear seat on the passenger's side of the vehicle.


The rear seat cushion must be removed to access the rear fuse block. See "Removing the Rear Seat Cushion" listed previously from the Owners Manual.


To access the fuse block, push in the two tabs located at each end of the fuse block cover. Then lift the cover off.

Keep find water on driver side floor and behind driver seat

Do you have a sun roof ? if yes make sure water is not leaking from there, BUT if you don't have a sunroof then have a look under the car's body, there might be some rusty area of a hole under the body letting the water from the road to get in.

Water leak rear floor driver's side as well as floor back of passenger. Drain lines from sun roof are clear. No rear end accidents. Any ideas? So far dealer cannot find a problem. 2007 Camry Hybrid

Roof drains may seem clear,but are the drain hoses,actually on the roof window frame.
Remove the head liner to be sure

Why can't the dealer use a dye type test or smoke tester. The smoke doesn't just have to be used for EVAP, that it was designed for. And you wonder why I do all my own work?

Since I purchased my 2000 GMC Yukon XL 1500 we have had a water leak that soaks the drivers side floor and passenger floor behind the drivers seat. I took it to my GMC dealer and they had it two days and...

You may be right about the sun roof. It should have 4 tubes to drain water that comes in around the glass. Sometimes the tubes fall off letting the water come into the cabin. The horn may be the part in the wheel. Apply it at different angles and it might start working. Sometimes they get rusty. I think your cabin filter would be under the hood near the firewall on the passenger side with a plastic cover.

Where is the water drain plug for a 2006 hyundai sonata?

Does this vehicle have a Sun/Moon Roof? The 'water pan' as you call it, is not equipped with a 'plug.' It's part of the Sun/Moon roof assy. the problem is most likely the drain tube (perhaps misrouted) from the roof to the outside of the vehicle (drain alley). The drain tubs are located behind the head-liner at 4 corners of the assy. Otherwise, the leak you describe is possibly being caused by a windshield leak.

In the past I have had major water leaks in my 2005 grand prix. I never knew wehre the water came from. Now, I can hear water under my car shifting whenever I turn a corner. Where is it coming from??

Do you have a sun roof? I imagine you do.

Under the roof cover there is a tube on each side of the car that drains the sunroof area to the ground. Either a tube has been disconnected or come loose. This will cause severe mold and mildew problems if not fixed soon.
