I have an 89 max. The rear seat behind the driver gets wet periodically. I have no idea from what. I think from rain but its not soaking wet and i dont see a water trail anywhere from the roof. I have a feeling its from the trunk somewhere but cant find out how there is water in the back but how it travels to the front i dont know? Has anyone else had this problem if so how did they fix it? Please

 

Go to a automatic car wash and run it through a cycle, hop in the back seat ,start lookin.

 

pull the seat out and have a look see. get a friend to hose the car down while you check inside.

 

Use a dollar bill and check to see if there are any broken seals in the doors.

 

it could also be a sign of rust which is allowing water to come up and soak the seat?

 

check your moonroof. There are drains inside that can get clogged and the water will drip inside, instead of draining through the hoses. I think Antonthegrey had this problem a little while back.

 

where on the seat is the water, exactly? that's a pretty vague statement.


living up north, you're also prone to rust.. is it near the door where the seatbelts bolt into place? often that area rusts out.

 

Thats exactly where it is. Ive taken the seat out plenty of times and have taken a look. But it doesnt explain how the water is getting there...There is no holes or anything but the whole thing under the seat looks rusted kinda..its a dark orange.

 

Does anyone out there know of this problem? SOme one please help.

 

pics... get us some pics and we'll do what we can to help.

 

Mine leaked in the trunk from the top of the driver side tail light. Water would slowly, slowly accumulate in the spare tire well. Then when the car was parked with the Nose down, water would spill up out of the well, and travel between the gap of the rear seat backrest and "bottomrest". So, the top of the seat got soaked. I'd recommend checking the wheel well, spraying water on the trunk, etc...

 

mine was leaking in betweeen the wheel well and the fender depending on where you live that could be your problem. pull the back seat off and take a look im in canada lots of salt in the winter

ditto canadia. pull the rear seat, the back too. my '91 rusted through the wheel well kind of up high. about mid way up the seat back. good luck. only a sign of bad things to come! you southern guys have it so good...only heat, hurricanes and tornados to foil your beautiful cars!

 

I found the problem for the wet seat. The red maxima part of the trunk it has quite a big crack in it. I was wondering if anyone has one for sale. Or know where i can get it from. If not i might just get it shaved....
