Strange interior water leak -- Help.
The rear passenger side floor in my Max gets wet whenever there is heavy rain (every other day lately
) It is not comming from the window or door as far as I can tell. I have been in the car during heavy rain and through the touchless car wash and saw no leaks.
The strange part is the rug seems to be getting wet from the bottom. The floor mat does not get wet, just the carpet underneath. Stranger still the floor will get wet even when the car is parked, if it were some sort of leak from underneath I would think the car would have to be moving to splash water against the underbody.
Any ideas?

Check to see if it's the heator core. Look for a wet carpet in the front pass side.
BTW: I think HVAC is a commerical building heating/ac reference. LOL
