Can't find water leak-Help!!

Well today it rained all day pretty much. I got in my car and the passenger side footwell was soaked. The window was up and the t-tops were on correctly. I sat in the car today while it was rainign looking for dripping and didn't see anything. Any one have any ideas where this leak is and where the water is coming from?? Thanks.

Hey Nick,

A common place for water to enter and accumulate at that spot is the hole in the firewall below the computer. If you remove the two bolts holding the computer down and remove it you will see where there are some wires passing through the firewall. There should be a grommet in the hole. If not, or if it is torn it will let water through and get to the passenger side floorboard.

Here's an answer from my dumb experience.

When I had that problem it was due to my pass side window motor failing. I "thought" the window was up - but since the motor was so wimpy it actually didn't raise it far enough to seat it.

Also make sure it's not anti-freeze, heater core problem. Could just be a coincidence.
