On my way out this afternoon, I noticed a considerable amout of water in the passender side, front and rear floors. There was a good rain storm earlier in the day and there was enough water that the floor mats were submerged.
I have searched this site and found several good suggestions. My question is, can I look at these myself? Or, should I take the car to the shop?
1. Winshield - Orig to the car, inspect seams
2. AC drain line - Not sure this would generate the volume of water that was in the wells (2+ gal) and the car was idle during the rain storm.
3. Ran shield - Check for clogs.
4. Sunroof drain lines - Had wind deflector installed a few years back.
Is there anything else I should check?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The sunroof drains are the most problematic.

Sorry I didn't update. We trimmed the sunroof drains and I no longer back into the driveway (down hill).
Per the dealer's suggestion, we cut the pinched ends off the sunroof drains with a razor.
It hasn't happened again.
Hope that helps!
