In order to install something like a viper alarm you have to run a couple wires (tach, hood pin, siren) to the main brain which is usually mounted under the steering column. So maybe when they ran those wires into the car they didn't properly seal the hole they made.... where'd u get it installed?

I had bubbles come out the floor vents while in a car wash (not a G35). I guessed it was because I had the vent set to fresh air v.s. recirculate.

I had the same problem over on the other side. When we took out my engine the main harness would not seal back up as well. Had to add some silicone to seal it back up.

make sure to check all seals, also the weather stripping on top of the firewall needs to be checked

The firewall is the back metal area of your engine compartment....behind the motor......................it has weatherstrip that runs along the top to seal the hood to the engine compartment area....check to make sure the weatherstrip has not come loose anywhere.....

I still don't think that would be the problem area....maybe the drains by the winshield are clogged, and its not letting the water run off from the windshield properly........that would be my first guess....also, look around the wiper assembly/arms.......is there any place water could easily enter through to the interior........
