Default WATER! behind pass seat!! SOB!

This is totally uncalled for, i jacked the car up the other day to put a PST ds in and left the car up because i had something to do. Welp turns out it rained, as i was under the car i noticed water coming down from underneath a bolt! water is inside my car! its in like mint condition, never driven in the rain, nothing. now i have a puddle and water under my carpet. So wtf is goin on here I'm tired of this no garage bullshit, guess im gunna have to take it to the STORAGE unit and start taking **** out of it to dry, the car still smells brand new, im so pissed right now

If the weather barrier has been removed or is not sealed from behind the door trim panel water can drip from the belt moulding and splash offt he regulator ect and find its way through the holes in the inner door structure. Over an extended rain it can puddle on top of the weatherstrip and soak into the carpet.

This is rare but it has happened.. If you dont know what to look for its near impossible to track down also.

welp it deff came from the hatch seal area, because i pretty much stripped the cars interior, and you can see the water trail. Even if this car was was jacked up from the rear and tilted.. it wasn't THAT drastic... im sure i could simulate this by parking on a hill. So really.. this is just bad luck i guess.. think i should buy new carpet? its only like 150 bucks genuine gm? that might be my best bet to keep everything mint.
