I know it seems like there is a water leak thread about every 10 or so posts but I think this one is a bit different…

It looks like it's coming in on the join between the bulkhead and the floor on the passenger side panels. I did a search and found one other post with the same problem but it was never answered.

grommets are clear and bulkhead fusebox are bone dry.

help!

Wasn't there a post about a hole somewhere and it not being sealed from factory near the chasis leg? Seem to remember something like that.

There is a hole in a lower section of the chassis leg, cant remember where it is, I might have a pic somewhere, it was covered with tape at the factory and painted over, if the tape gets broken water goes in the hole and into the car.

It can be hard to find, keep looking its there somewhere, on both sides.

Just as an update on this .. I've found it. Water is leaking between screen pillar and seam. Will be sorted when it's sprayed but for now good old silicone sealer is keeping me dry.. :thumbs:
