Driver's floor pan water leak problem
Last year, I discovered that I had a leak problem where the driver's floor area is. Obviously too lazy post about it because it only happens whenever there is heavy rain. During the past winter the floor was always wet there because of having a mat there, plus the snow that I dragged in with my boots. I figured it was just something that would dry up. Skipping ahead toward this past summer, it never dried. I had to cut open the rug to allow it to air dry.
Things I do know: No roof leak, no leak anywhere else. I doubt there are any holes in the floor board/pan. It doesn't make sense. It's just that one spot. No trails leading from the firewall area.
What I can guess it may be: When I took off the plastic trim windshield wiper/cowl piece to paint it, I ripped off the weather seal that sits on the glass to prevent water from dripping into the firewall space. Although usually water travels through it to the ground? Reason for, is that it is very thin, and a burden to put back on. So there is a gap. Anyways I don't know if there is a random canal that is getting water from the outside and traveling toward the pan. But like I said there is no sign of water trails leading to that spot. This has happened several times.
