Wtf water leak in my car
Can somebody please explain to me why and how does water drip on my feet unexpectedly from under the drivers side of my car why it was raining in good ol SoFlo. Does anyone know what the culprit is before anything catches on fire or electronics start malfunctioning. Where would the the leak come from? How can I fix it? Thanks

You may have a leak in the seal around your windshield. Has anyone done any aftermarket electronics work on your car?
Sometimes people run a wire through the firewall and into the cabin by cutting a hole in the firewall or cutting a hole through the seal around the steering shaft and if it's not seals properly can result in leaks.
You really need to go out there with a hose on a sunny day and have someone else standing outside the car with a hose spray water onto various parts of the car while you're inside looking for leaks. I've done this on countless cars and it pretty much always flushes out the source of your leak. Be prepared to remove interior parts too since many leaks originate from areas that aren't exposed in plain view.

This is weird... I washed my car awhile back and found that a little bit of water was on the floor on the passenger side. Not a whole lot but I definitely noticed it.. Never dripped when I drove in a down pour one night... Never really looked into that much but would assume it's coming in from the fire wall somwhere...
