Rain getting in my car
I have water getting in my '97 Dodge Neon Sport. I have completly pulled out all the carpet, seats, centre console and with a shop vac, sucked out all the water. Then I placed an electric space heater inside the car to bake out all the moisture. I initially thought that the water was coming in from the driver side window. The seal seemed to be a poor design with the glass only making contact with the rubber seal on the body of the car. The seal didn't look too bad, but I paid $200.00 from a dealer for the new seal.
After baking out all the moisture the car was bone dry...But after the first heavy rain fall after I installed the seal, it still leaks. The water seems to pool under the pedals, In the low molded area beneath the drivers seat, where the rear driver's side passengers feet would rest and underneath the seat of the rear passenger on the driver's side. I am sucking the water out again today and putting in the space heater. Once this is compete I plan on taking the car to a car wash to spray around entry points ie. other seals. Does anyone have any other suggestions? |

Check your spare tire compartment. Water come through the brake light

under your hoo, right by the windshield theres that ledge that holds your wiper motor and crap. At the sides theres little drain holes so water doesn't buid up, there probly clogged, shove a caot hanger in and out both sides, and you'll be surprised at what kind of crap is in there, looks like the crap u pull out of the gutter on your house.

Re: Rain getting in my car
Check the seals around your front and rear windshields. You can use black silicone to seal any gaps. I had the same problem with my 1993 Dodge Daytona - it turned out to be the seal around the rear windshield. I could put the seal up with my fingers quite easily. You can use a flat screwdriver or putty knife to pull the seal up enough to squeeze some black silicone underneath it. Just use a rag to wipe of any excess silicone that gets on the paint.
