Every time it rains water gets into my car on the driver side only. It is not coming through the door or the top of the car because all of the water has been under the floor mat and completely dry on top of the mat. I stripped out the carpet because it was a lot of water and extremely wet. I have this video of some water coming into the car but I do not know where that water is coming from.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Wow! That is a problem! Two things I want you to check. Since the water is coming in under the carpet, check under the dash at the top to see if it is getting past the windshield and down the firewall. Also, remove the kick panel from that side of the vehicle and see if it is full of water. There are drains under the cowl (section on outside right at the bottom of the windshield) that I have seen get plugged and then caused water to come in through the door pillar. Check that and let me know what you find.
