Water in rear storage cubby holes behind seats

Do you park on an incline? I saw another post on here a while back where someone had a problem similar to this. Snow from their shoes would get onto the rubber mat, melt, runoff, and wet the carpet. I think it was the infamous “taste it” forum where the guy found salt in his truck and couldn’t figure out where it came from.

 

Close the door on a $1 bill and drag it around the opening; there should be a good bit of resistance on a tight seal

 

Nope its flat. Still stumped lol

 

ok that is something I can do

 

That won’t work unless you use a Franklin

 

Also may want to check the vapor barriers inside the rear doors , if that plastic sheeting comes loose water will run inside the door and into the floor of the vehicle instead of venting to the outside . I’ve seen this many times . Have you done any work inside your door panels such as speaker upgrades or a recent body shop repair ? Worth a look

 

Nope but I need to get into one door because the damn window is rattling.

 

Still does it. The sills are dry the padding is dry the seatbelts are dry but there is moisture under. the rear floormats.

 

Ok just noticed the bottom rear corner of both rear doors is wet. What I mean is the plastic interior trim part. Wtf????

so water is coming down and instead of draining it is coming in around the rear door bottom corners

 

bump finally found where the damn water is coming from

 

...

 

Maybe I'm not seeing something here, but where was it coming from?

 

If you haven't already check the drain holes along the bottom of the doors to see if any are clogged. Would be odd for both doors to be that way but only takes a second.

 

It’s third brake light I finally found a little droplets coming down from up above. Going today to see how much they’re going to try to rape me at the dealer fix it.

 

Wasn't that the first suggestion? Since it's almost always the problem on older 3 gens.
