QuestionGot a 1997 Crown Vic with water leak in the driver's side front and back. Don't know where it could come from.
The car sits outside and after a rain storm it's wet in the carpet front and back, even puddling in the back. Doesn't seem to be leakage from headliner. Don't know how to pull out the carpet to check. Suspect it's the door gasket but can't find any proof because the carpet doesn't seem wet right next to the door.
Answer Hi David,
Things that can be leaking :
(1)Inner door panel splash shields behind your interior door panel(this would leak and build up at the bottom of the door).Also, door opening weather strip could be torn or flat.
(2)Bottom of the "A" pillar seam, high cowl seam to "A" pillar seam(all under your cowl screen).Also check to make sure cowl drain is clear of debris.
(3)Wheel well seam, bulk head seam or plug,(all of which would leak onto the floor and be seen tight to the corner of the bulkhead)
(4)Windshield set could be loose or leaking,top of the "A" pillar seam,(can see this on the inside of the car,looking along the windshield set).
In your case, the water would run to the rear floor pan because the car normally sits with the rear lower than the front.
I hope this helps,
