Dam, this must be a commen place for ls1 t-tops because I noticed this happend to me the other weekend in the exact same place, last year it was wet behind the passenger seat. And it must have been wet for a few weeks, because for one, it hasn't rained here hard for about 3 weeks and the carpet was building up what looked like black mold -about 5 black spots. Im sure gm could have fixed the leaks with the t-tops but seeing as to how they already were going to end the f-body production they seen no reason to fix the problem. I see you also have a 98 as I do. The t-tops leaking is one thing to expect from a t-top car. I expected this even before I bought my car, even though the owner said they didn't leak. My brothers 3rd gen t-top camaro leaked too. Just get a car cover or replace the door seals.

When you say on the passanger side, where "the feet" are... is this in the back or the front?

If it is the front, it could be the grommet in the firewall. I installed the SLP fan switch and it rained the next day. My front passanger floor mat had a puddle on it. I went back into the engine bay and the grommet wasn't in the hole that well. I put it back and put some electrical tape around it to make sure nothing could get in there. It has rained a lot after that and I have not had any puddles as of late.

i've noticed on my car that the area where the t-top weatherstrip and the window weatherstrip meet can sometimes get 'misaligned' when putting the t-tops back on. i've never had a leak, but it could be something really simple like that.

get subframe connectors. the same exact thing happened to me. after SFC install, not a drop since. In my mind, it is the best $170 you can spend.
