please help, we took it in while still under warrenty, and they said it was not the heater core or anything to do with the a.c., and could not find the problem. Now, after taking it in three times, the warrenty is out, and we only know the water comes in from some tiny openings where the door shuts, next to the dashboard. Any clues??? there are some kind of drainage plugs on outside of car near bottom, and we took those off, was that a mistake? Not sure if that will help yet, as it hasn't rained yet.

Is it water or coolant? Also, follow the antenna wire from the radio to where is goes through the body and into the fender. I have seen the rubber grommit that the wire goes through come out and cause a leak. Also, when it is dry, have one person on the inside watching while someone sprays the outside to see if you can see where it is leaking from. Also, check at the base of the windshield.

Let me know what you find.
