water!

hello,
a couple days ago i went inside my car to find a roll of paper towels i had in there soaked, and the carpet to. Any ideas on where the leak could be coming from?
i'd like to get it stopped as soon as possible.

Re: water!

The Heater Core maybe leaking. Check to see if it is coolant.

Re: water!

i had a leak there too, the piece or corrugated tubing that goes form the body to the door with the wiring had pulled away a bit. I fix that, and changed the door seal which was shot and the leak stopped. something to look into

Re: water!

Goodness, I've had this problem for three years!

Neglect...

I've pinpointed the leak, what's the rubber seal for the wiring that comes in? It needs to be replaced.
