Bad leaking problem... Ok guys need some help here. The Z leaks BAD when it rains. Both the driver's side front and rear floors get SOAKED when it rains hard. I can't figure it out. There is no trace of water drips...I thought it was the ttops but they show no signs of leaking. Today I was parked on an incline during the rain(nose pointed down) and the floors are saturated, the water actually puddled that's how much water got in.
Any ideas? Anything else besides the ttops to look at? I don't want to ruin this carpet...it's bad enough I have to go to the car wash tomorrow and vacumn out the rugs.
Thanks!

I was thinking the cowl panel seal but that wouldn't explain the rear floor being wet considering the way the car was being tilted.
Maybe it IS the ttop...I just can't find any evidence lol

Check the weather/water barrier behind the interior door panel.
If someone has taken it off before and not sealed it back to the door properly it can let water drip/run through the holes in the inner structure of the door.
It will gather at the base of the interior door panel and puddle over the rubber door jamb seal into the car. I have not seen a leak as bad as you describe but I have seen and repaired a few leaks like this. This type of leak is usually noticed when you have a few days of rain because it is usually a very slow leak.

Well, had the car parked the other way on the incline and a huge puddle on the rear floor, driver's side. Front floor was dry.
Maybe it IS the driver's side ttop
