2004 hyundai sonata leak question
i've had my 2004 hyundai sonata lx for a while now and every time we get a good hard rain my passenger side floorboard fills with water. i took it to a glass shop and they found a place in the firewall that was leaking so i took it to a body shop and they repaired the place. and now my carpet is filling with water again but mainly in the passenger side rear floor area. i've dumped hundreds of gallons of water and havent been able to get the car to leak. the weird part is it feels like just the floor itself, the higher place around the area where you put your feet are always dry. anybody ever had any experience with problems like this? it has a sunroof too.

yeah, i thought of that myself but i checked and all the sweat off the evaporator is draining onto the ground, plus the leak is mainly in the rear area. i'm taking the car to a friend that does auto glass tomorrow afternoon and hopefully he can find it, if not i'm not sure what direction to go in this situation. car only has 48k so i really want to keep it.

From the HMS Service website:
If the car has a sunroof, carefully pour water into the sunroof tray. Water should leak out onto the ground near each of the vehicle tires if the four sunroof drain tubes are not clogged with leaves or debris, or kinked. Sometimes a kinked drain hose may cause leakage into the passenger compartment if the sunroof tray does not drain fast enough. Sunroof leaks may travel. A leak onto the headliner may dampen the carpet near the 'A' pillar, or drain through the dome lamp screws.

yeah turns out it is the passenger side sunroof drain, letting water in pretty quickly too when you pour it directly in the drain. is their any way to tell if it's kinked or if it's broken? this one still lets water out at the wheels but also in the floor
