Hi,
My '95 MTX SHO passenger side floor has been soaked all winter. Snow sits on
the car and melts off eventually. No signs in the interior where water could
be coming from. I had been sopping it up with a towel, leaving windows open
on sunny days, hoping for a miracle. Yesterday I ripped the seat bench, back
and the soaked soundproofing stuff out. Just the bottom "well" under the
passenger seat was soaked, must have leaked from there down to the carpet
well. The long seatbelt looked wet and there was a remnant of a puddle on
the leather seat bench. The seat back was dry, the seat bottom inner foam
was wet, wire frame rusted some. The head liner shows no signs of water,
even at the back, nor near the sunroof. The other floors and seats are dry.
The rear door and trunk weather stripping still are intact.
I have electrical-taped around the sunroof and the top seal of the rear
window and I'm about to hose it down with someone inside and the back seat
still out to watch. But it needs to be a little more above freezing before I
go for it. I can see with the right read door open that a leak there could
seep down onto the floor and under the seat bench, but how could it soak the
seatbelt and bench top? Any other ideas or similar experiences you could
share?
