Body Damage is Cool
When I took the roof liner out of my 98 there is a channel that runs down the right rear corner where the washer fluid filler is that could be the channel where the water is getting down to the carpet.

It could be that it is running down this channel and then under the rear hatch molding. There are a couple of screwes holding this molding in place. Try removing it and looking for water in there.

Roll Me Over

My Ride has an occassional leak on the driver side door when I go through the automated wash. I discovered that the door had been replaced prior to my time of purchase. There is writing on it that says Feb/2000. My vehicle is a 2001. I guess it did not quite fit. I leaned on the top of the door (while window down and door open) and attempted to bend it and I bent the whole door towards to car and it seemed to curb some of the leakage problem. I recently changed the driver side rear lamp ($84.00) and I can't see how water could get in that way. It is tighter than a drum---normally. Well, good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
