    i just bought this 99 coupe gt and found all the passenger side floor soaking wet.
    i know its a known problem but having hard time to figure where it is since its really really wet. got into the back too.

    so no sunroof.
    windshield doesnt look in a bad shape

    i checked the firewall but i didnt find something weird (i have no idea what to look for maybe)

    happened to you?
    please share a solution.

    ohh and btw, i have a non deductible comprehensive. does it cover rain?

    I had at least 2 inches of water in my car after a real heavy rain. Check out the link below. It's an easy fix. After installing the new part, it's been bone dry.

    Dealer by me had it for $3.67... Lol. My SE had the leak, the GTP never did but I put it in just in case. Leak in winter was a ***** cause I had to scrape the frost off the INSIDE of the windshield, unitl it was fixed, hahahaha!

    As a suggestion, I put a cabin air filter in too while you have the cowl open there putting that piece in. It's not needed but nice if you have allergies. there is a tray you will see when it's open. I forget the part # but just measure the tray's dimensions and head to the part store, they'll have it.

    It's a regal. But I'm having hard time to open all the plastic which is one piece and not too as the guide.
    I can pull it up a little to put a filter but will be hard to put the deflector.
