    We got about 4 inches of rain the other night, and some more last night. Saturday night, my car accumulated about 3 inches of water in the passenger side floorboard, the driver's side floor was damp as well.

    Sooo, I took out the entire interior. I removed the carpet, and I thought my problems were leaking rubber door weather stripping because of how the water looked like it dripped in by the door. With all the carpet out, I sprayed the sunroof and doors and watched where it came in. The sunroof doesn't leak at all. The problem was the window seal, on the outside. There's a gap in the very front of the window seal, about the size of a small nail head. The water comes in through that seal, and hits a speaker deflector, (inside the door), and apparently comes out of the bottom of the door panel right below the speaker.

    Has anybody had this problem? I know it's not the sunroof, and I've replaced the $3 cowl piece. From the factory, water comes in the door, and that's not a problem because there are drain holes in the door, but not all the water is making it to these drain holes.

    *EDIT*- Update

    Found where it was leaking, if anybody else has water leaking through the door panel I have a solution.

    What was the solution? Had a bad rain yesterday and found my drivers side floor soaked, and found water around the speaker cover. Thanks!
