DjRags Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 08 LGT and first time it's seen rain since I bought it. Went out this morning and felt a few drips on my left leg. Drove to work thinking maybe some just got in when I opened the door but when I checked the mat it was fairly wet. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and might have a solution? I was planning on just running a hose on the front of the car and following where the water comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Is there any record of that LGT getting a new windshield? If not, check the windshield seals all around. Also check the mat liquid for any noticeable smell, which could indicate some other system leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjRags Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 No record of a new windshield. I felt for where there was moisture and it seemed to be coming from the plastic directly above the dead pedal. Will check for wierd smells when I get back to the car.

Marvick08GT Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 There is also a grommet that goes into the fender that some don't put back correctly after running cables etc. Either that or a windshield or sunroof issue. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Check the sunroof drains and leaf build up in the cowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjRags Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thanks all. It appears to be that grommet on the driver side of the dash wasn't properly put back. Seems to be fixed now but will check next heavy rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjRags Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 The leak or the grommet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The leak or the grommet? The grommet was out, I could usually tell by the temperature difference at my feet. After the 2nd one... I started just checking it. Do you have a driver's side fender liner? That usually keeps the water out regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
