I think that we'd all appreciate an update on how this fix is working out (now that it's almost a year later). Is the weather stripping adhesive still holding and sealing out the water after the winter cold and the heat of the summer???

This is The First Video in KZfaq history that actually is informative and 500% helpful. Thank You

Oh my goodness you have no clue how extremely thankful I am for you posting this video!!!!! You literally just lifted so much stress off of my shoulders and out of my mind! Thank you bunches

You can find just about anything on KZfaq and I'm having this exact problem. Very helpful advice thanks

Keep helping people man. You don't know how much it means to us brother. So much love to you. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Thanks very much for not only showing the problem you had, but also for suggesting a few other possible causes of the problem!

I have to thank you for this video! Water on my 99 Lincoln Town Car's floorboards was driving me crazy- & mold was forming on the door sills! No mechanic would take on the job to define the problem; I thank God for your info- no more water leaks & taking it to the detail shop tomorrow to get everything dried up & cleaned up! You're in my will- hope you don't mind the debt! :)

This fix was informative and right to the point!! Most DIY videos are wordy and take forever to get the point...not this one!! Great video!!! Two thumbs up!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I was losing my mind on why my 2000 Town Car was leaking. This video solved the problem. Thanks for sharing!

I think you have given me new hope with this issue. I'll have to try it out! I have other things to address first, but now I think I can get rid of the wet carpet (for years, on and off)!

Thanks for this video, I'm doing this right now, I managed to find the exact product at Canadian Tire. UPDATE: I'm done, a tip is to make sure to press down hard on the area by the windshield when tightening those two rear screws. I didn't push down and tested and some water leaked in, but I pressed down and re-tightened and then it is leak free. Cheers!

You are my savior. You have no idea how long I have wondered about that same suspect seal from my Dodge Nitro. The car gets soaked front passenger and back too. This is the ultimate solution. I needed this confirmation that it's that seal

Very helpful. I've got a 2000 Ram that just started doing the same thing this summer rain or shine. Now I know where to start looking. Thanks!

Awesome job solving, reverse engineering and reengineering the solution to this problem!

I know this is a old video,but I just bought a old car that the floor was getting wet,and I had no clue why. This was very informative and helpful. I just took it apart and there was all kinds of leaves etc in there. So thank you...I wasn't sure what was going on til I saw this video.

Wow once again KZfaqrs like you give me hope for a quick fix. I was thinking windshield or door leak. Tomorrow i will investigate

Thank you for the video, it’s been raining here in Cali like crazy and I’m starting to find a soaked floorboards on my Lincoln specially in the back pax side, I’ll definitely try the tomorrow first thing 👍🏽

Thank you! Great video. You make it look simple. Will try your idea with the gasket. Now I know where the water came from.

Thanks man. Your idea to use weather stripping was perfect. I did not want to use that goop stuff to create a seal. Town car is fixed and dry.

Thank you so much! Your video is extremely helpful and you know how to explain everything clearly! Keep it up!!

You deserve a medal for this, thank you

Thank you for the video. I also have a 1999 LTC and have the same problem. I took apart the front trim and my seal is also gone so, I used your like and ordered the seal from amazon. Thanks again!

I've got the same problem. I'm gonna try this and hope the problem will be fixed. Thank you for the update Kind regards

Thank you, I have the same leak problem. Your method is the best method.

And here I was, blaming my kids for spilling drinks on my floor. But I woke up this morning with water inside my car, on the pool passenger side again. Definitely going to fix it now. Thank you!!

THANK GOD FOR KZfaq 😍 I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S GOING TO GET FIXED BY THE HUBBY!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.

i’m having the same problem with my 2005 Honda Civic! very frustrating so i’m glad i found this video! thanks 😊

Just did repair, it worked!!!! Thank you Sir.

My 2005 Honda Civic Ex is having the same problem, thanks for the informative video.

I have a 1999 Ford Ranger that is about perfect except for this issue. I am pretty sure you have helped me find the solution. Big Thanks!!

Asked a mechanic panel beater and a window installer,yeah this 100 percent works.Thanls mate

:O THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I will be hunting down my water issues on the drivers side.

You saved my car! Like 7 months ago I got a Honda Civic 2002 and not long ago I noticed my passenger floor side was wet and I had in mind that I might have had cracked the floor panel when I hit a bump but now I know what’s the issue I will definitely take care of this on my day of thanks a lot!!

Thank you! It was driving me nuts trying to figure out where the water was coming from! Ever since Hurricane Irma I've noticed that after strong rainstorms, everything was perfectly dry in my car's left passenger side - except for the floor on that one side where there was always a puddle!

Thank you Sir! I have a problem with my Xplorer and I am sure is related to this!

Thank you sir. I really like people like you take your time and video and show us how to fix the problem thank you once again

Thank you so much I happen to have the exact same problem. Leaking on passages side n seals are all new.

I JUST purchased a 99 as well. SAME thing. Damn....I hate doing work like this...I always run into problems. But I liked your video very much. I have leaks on the back floors as well....I removed the black plastic caps on the bottoms of the doors...there was dirt packed in there. I guess I will have to do this to that box.

If you're having a problem with this in an f150. Check your 3rd brake light that's on top of your cab. I have a 2004 F150 Lariat. The gasket there became loose and water traveled all the way down to the front passengers side. Take off the plastic peice that's right before the door. There are wires there and that is where water comes in.

this happens to the UK Vauxhall Corsa vehicles and like you stated the Vents and drain sites block up with leaves and debris twigs dirt and the rainwater back flows under the floor Wells. happened to me till I spent a couple of hours scraping the Vents drains and any areas dirty clean

thanks man! will try to do check my car tomorrow. i thought its an AC issue and thinking about spending money. thanks to you :)

Very good information. I am having the same problem on a Chrysler Town & Country. I have not tried the fix yet but this looks like it might be the issue. Much appreciated video

Hey I have an o5 mercury grand marquis, low miles, set alot when my dad owed it, had same problem with water in floorboard on passenger side, came across this video, great content, really helpful, don't know what I would do without KZfaq, if you have a problem, KZfaq to the rescue, thanks for the help, video was right on.

Hi. Thank you for the helpful tips and video. Question.....how did you drain the water out of the container at the fresh air duct? Thank you again. Have a great day.

This video saved me alot of time and money I never thought the reason I was taking in water would be this but it was cheers

Lol I bypassed the heater core.... And recently was surprised after a carwash the passenger side mat was flooded again... This was a great vid 👍🏼

This is great information. I recently purchased a 2000 Lincoln Town Car (42,000miles) and noticed the floor mats were soaking wet after it rained the day before. I took the car to Goodyear and they advised me to take it a body repair shop. That led me to do some homework and your youtube video zeroed in on the problem with a simple fix. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home Depot has these seals in various widths and styles. In the weatherstripping area.

Thank you ... I check some videos ... your job that's the clean and easy way to fix ... Gracias!!!

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. I was shocked to see how much water had accumulated in the rear seat foot area. I have a 2009 Town Car. The fix was simple. Drying out the carpet and foam underneath is proving to be a challenge.

Thanks for showing exactly how to check and fix the problem

Thank you for the video. Had this issue for years and kinda suspected that being the tha area of the problem. But didnt remove all the parts. Just started parking it in the garage.

Excellent! I have a similar problem and that's my project for this weekend

One note about doors leaking... I had a weird leak in the passenger footwell. My drain holes were fine, there's even cavity wax evident. What caused my problems is the foam sound insulation (actually to be correct, it is in fact a vapor barrier based on the same principles as roofing vapor barier) that is behind the door trim panel. That stuff which is usually glued with awfully sticky black butyl rubber. If that butyl doesn't stick anymore, your feet will be wet.

Awesome video! I Have the same problem on the drivers side. I want so bad to take off, but concerned I may not put it together properly. Thank you.

Outstanding performance 👏

I'm having this same problem right now. Thanks for being so thorough with this information. I'll get someone to check this section out.

Nice job. Thanks 👍

Thank you so much. I thought it was the heater core leaking. Now I have something else to look at.

Thank you for your video, I have the same leak on my passenger front and rear sets, I will buy the same seal and check the front…. Verry helpful thx

Thank you sooo much I have a 1995 impala that has been leaking on the passenger side and could not figure out where it was coming from.

best vid on this thus far , thanks

Thank you for this well-informed video. This is extremely helpful ! I will be subscribing !

Great video! I suspect my 2006 Honda Accord is having the exact same issue. Thanks.

Great work on a great car. I'd love to have a Town Car.

I really liked your video...recommended a quality product+ easy to follow even for an old lady like me with no experience....I had the water problem & just cleaned my drain flap area which was full of leaves...if I need to go further, I'll be trying this next :-)

Thanks this is the exact video I have been looking for

well presented video, thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you....good investigative work...

Thank you so much..this may help for my cadillac cts 2004, exactly the same problem, the same location of intake.. So when I turn the fan on with high speed, I can hear the water is moving in side behind the dashboard and spill out under the gloves box, is this happened to you too? So the water already build up in the compartment and how we suck the water out? I subcribe for you right now...thank you for sharing.

I found it and fixed it on my Chevy 06 suburban got all the way around

Very well done video. Great explanation, ect. = helpful! :)

Thanks for this helpful video! I have a similar situation in my 99 Camry, passenger side is wet after rain. Any suggestions for a 1999 Camry as to how to find the leak area?

I finally figure it out! Who ever installed my audio left a whole leading into cabin with a huge wire going through it. The water was going right into my car and under my carpet!! Finally! Now to buy new carpet because I totally ripped it out looking for the leak.

Great Video. Straight to the point. Thanks

It's amazing how many different vehicles have this problem. 2001 Suburban

This year my passenger side floor has been growing a wet spot and it was driving me crazy. I was thinking heater core leak or somehow water was penetrating from underneath from wet roads. But none of those made any sense as I didn't smell coolant and the wet spot grew when I wasn't driving the car. I was about to rip out the carpet before I decided to see what the YT community had on the issue. This post looks like exactly what I am experiencing now. This was Grandma's 1996 Mercury Sable that she barely drove. Once the rain stops (so I don't melt) I will disassemble my cowling and see if this too is my problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the vid man this give me an idea of why my truck is also leaking but on driver side carpet, im still not sure it it is indeed that seal or maybe its the window rubber part will check both but this really helped me alot in narrowing it down. Also I had paid a shop to clean the drain since he said it was clogged but this rainy season proved wrong so it must be one or both of the things.

Cool. Hope this will help my 04 Colorado. Wet wet wet ..

This is good compared to what I had to do. My car had a rusted hole to the rear of the front tire. After a while salt got through the hole and rusted through the firewall, partially. So I had patch all the holes. I used: window screen, tarp, Dynaflex 230, Dynaflex Ultra. Now, there is a tiny leak left which I am going to stop.

That a is pretty good information. I will fix my car leak now. Thnk you

Omg thank you...i finally understand why i can hear water sloshing underneath my car whenever i start the car or turn into a side road. It has actually caused a massive erosion on the metal under the passenger side. Question: How do i remove the water that is trapped underneath my car?

I had water in the same spot on my Chevy Colorado, but the culprit was my High Mount Tail Light seal. The water come in there, and that the front of the truck is lower than the back, the water would make it's way to the front of the cab. I replaced the light and the seal. No more wet floors.

Nice , great video. Thank you.

Thanks! 1000% helpful.

Our 2014 Subaru Forester had a wet passenger floor. I discovered the AC drain hose was clogged. Took 5 minutes to fix by blowing air into the drain hose with my air compressor at about 100 psi. Can be done from under the vehicle or by peeling back the carpet.

Seems most car have this problem.. Great video Sir..

Having fixed a quite large herd of Town Cars, Crown Vics and Marquis from early '90's through 2006, I will add just a couple things to this fix advice. I always used 1/4 or 3/8 inch diameter 'windshield' tape, this is the butyl rubber compound that holds the windshields in back then. It comes in a round 'rope' and is available at NAPA if they are still around and if they're gone, any auto glass should have some. You will need about two feet of it. The primary problem is the foam gasket that is OEM disintegrates with time, and since I lived in Florida the 'with time' could be less than a year with the heat. Disassemble as per the vid, but instead of using more foam tape, use the butyl windshield tape. Be careful but you just clean the mating surfaces completely, using solvent of alcohol to remove the old foam rubber adhesive and the dirt and grime. 'Be careful' means most of those exposed metal edges are very VERY sharp. Install the new butyl seal on the black plastic part, carefully following the outline where the old foam tape was. Carefully install the plastic plate and gently press it down to get a good seal between the plastic plate and the metal cowl top. Once that is in place, reinstall the other parts as shown. Wed carpet. Town Cars have very thick rubber insulation made on to the carpet. Remove your rubber floor mats and leave 'em out until the carpet is completely dry along with the insulation under it. If you the time, space and ability, the best way to dry the carpet is remove the right front seat and rear seat cushion, remove the plastic kick panel and the plastic sill plate front and rear doors, fold the carpet back over the center as much as you can, prop it up and put a couple fans to blow air over the exposed bottoms of the carpet. This can literally take a couple days. If you have not the ability to do this carpet fold back trick, leave your rubber floor mats out for the two and more weeks it will take for the carpet to dry. This same trick works with Crown Vic and Marquis, difference is their carpet insulation is nowhere near as thick. Also, sign where you worked, I used date and what looks like 'FAN' . Anytime I was in anywhere I had to remove anything, door panel, IP, seats, carpets, anything, I signed and dated it. Sorry, I moved east 12 years ago so you will find nothing with 'FAN' and a date since then.

Im having the same issue with my BMW i had a pool in the back passengerand fron passenger area , thank you for the info

Great video nicely done. How’s the seal holding up now? Did you do anything to dry the drivers floor?

Dude you are brilliant!!

I did it today! I bought the exact same Frost King stuff you mentioned! Fit perfectly. And then no silicone!! That’s a bit permanent ya know? Hopefully it works! Thank you!

Couple of reasons for this, ac drain-off plugged, your window will fog up if that's the case, poor design on cabin filter allowing water in during rain (which is this video), and heater cores.

great video, thank you!

Hello, obviously I found your video because now I’m in the same boat. However, I have leaking on both the left and front sides up front. But it’s worse on the right. Are there 2 water catches - 1 on each side? Or should I look for another cause. Thanks for posting.

Thank You a Ton !!!!! What about Mercedes-Benz windshiel cowling ?? Mines a 07 C230 Sport .

This 100% was the issue on my 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis 👍

Great video!

Awesome and Thanks,now I know what needs to be done.👍😎🇺🇸

Great video thanks ✊🏾
