Water Leaks - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Help, I'm drowning. I have a 97 Camery XLE. The floor on the passenger side is soaked. It is not wet on the upper part of the floor just on the bottom. It only happens when it rains and the fluid does not have a smell or any color to it so it appears to be rainwater. I thought it may be a bad seal around the windshield however I've taken a hose and sprayed all around the windshield and no water has gotten into the car. I've also checked to see if there is a drain hole that may be plugged or if there is a plug on the underside of the car that may be missing.

Has anyone had this problem or can anyone offer some suggestions.

Edna, try posting this question in the Camry forum instead of the "introduce yourself" forum. You'll get a lot more people seeing your question.

Good luck!

The water may be coming in where you cant easily see it from inside. Like at the bottom part of the windshield and then leaking down behind the dashboard and then the inside firewall. (Or it could be coming in the door seal but not likely.) Id have the windhsield reinstalled with a new gasket and sealer, trying to patch the seals has never worked for me.
Since you say it only happens in the rain its not likely that the heater core could be leaking, is it?.
