Water pooling in the floorboard.

Whenever I drive in a heavy rain, my 89 camaro pools water in the passenger floorboard. I can't find where it comes from and then it evaporates without a stain or anything. Any ideas where this could come from? Thanks!

Re: Water pooling in the floorboard.

maybe the floor body plug or the firewall under the ac unit where the inner fender part meets tends to rot

Re: Water pooling in the floorboard.

After you've located the problem, if the carpet has become saturated, pull it up and thoroughly dry it or the moisture will induce rust.

Re: Water pooling in the floorboard.

I had that problem in my GTA. It was coming through the harness behind the wheel well. Take off the lower passenger trim panel and check the plug to see if there are water mark traces. I ended up putting silicone around the plug on the outside. The plug is located behind the passenger side wheel well. The water travelled down the A pillar and bhind the fender.
