Exclamation Convertible Owners I need your help...

For the love of god I can't figure out how every time it rains I get a small puddle of water behind the drivers seat. I check all the seals and even sat in the back for about 10 minutes while it was pouring down last week and wans't able to find where the water is coming from. Nothing else is wet. Just the back area where the passengers put their feet. This is driving me crazy. Anybody have any experience with getting this fixed? Could water be coming in from the trunk area or something? This is pissing me off.....

On my cutlass convertible, it leaks at the top between the a-pillars. The water just comes in and drips down on the drivers and passangers floor and runs to the back to pool up.

Every time it rains or i wash my car water in on the drivers seat. I checked it out and water was in side the tube thats supposed to keep the water out!!!!
I dont have the time or money to fix it so have to deal with it. But its not bad it never rains that much in cali

I have a 99gt with the same exact problem. I changed all the weatherstripping and i still get a puddle back there. Make sure you drain the water from the back of the car where the top comes down into. That part usually fills up on me, it doesnt have a hole to let the water drain out. I'm going to try siliconing the inside of the scoops havent looked at that. good luck

Man dont feel bad. That same crap is happening to me. I was just about to post a thread on this when I came across yours. Yeah its been raining non stop here in texas also. I got in my car today and I noticed the puddle, but its happened a few times. So let me know how you fix this problem. I noticed red said the side scoops. Do I to take them off to seal them?
