Default water on dr side floor

like the thread says, it did rain the other day, the carpet on the driver side front seat is all wet on the 99 vert. there are no noticable leaks around, not really sure if it was from the rain or what. anyone have an idea ? i've read that it could be from parking nose angled down.

You have no leaks, probably, believe it or not.

Same thing happened to me once. I had the drain holes by the convertible top clogged with leaves and debris.

Open your top halfway, and look for the drain holes. Pour water into them rapidly and see if it doesn't take it in and pours over... If it pours over, that is what's pouring into your interior carpeting, front and back, when it rains or you wash your car.

The drains are at the front of the top well on each side of the car. Right behind the front seat belt reels. You will see what resembles a black plastic funnel.
