Everytime it rains i have a big puddle in my rear passenger side of my car. yes i mean puddle (like 3 inchs). i have a s14 with a sunroof. the sunroof leaks but only a little bit and when it does it only gets on my headliner, but where could the water be coming from that ends up on my floor. i dont see any water running down inside my car anywhere. does anyone else have a similar problem? can anyone help me?

Actually. I've had this problem. I was stuck between traffic and a small flood gate pluged up. I had to go thru, it wasen't bad, but high tide on the street never is for a car 7"'s off the road. the next morning had to worry about how I was going to cover the puddle before I move again. Check the underside of the car. There shouldn't be any leaks coming from the upper area of the car. makes no sense to drain in that direction, and the sunroof would leak onto the passenger seat before hitting the area mentioned. You would see it. . .Get Back.

If the rear drip rail is broken or misaligned in the sunroof the incoming water will drip right through the headliner into the floorboard. That's pretty common on OE S14 sunroofs.

It prolly goes across the top of your headliner and down the b-pillar.

well, theres a tube (2 actually i think) that the water in the gutter of the sunroof drains down. Maybe the hole that lets the water in teh drain is clogged.

My snrf is fine on my 240, but thats what caused a leak in my parents quest.
