Water in passenger side!??

Yeah!!~~ I fixed the little draining hose under the kick panel in the passenger side to stop the water from coming into the car when rains, but the problem still occurs(My passenger carpeting's so f*ing soaked with water that I can putta fish in). Anybody??

Open the rear hatch, remove triangular plastic covers above tailights, remove nylon bushings and it's foam gasket, clean, apply silicone sealant and re-install. Guaranteed to fix it. That, and park with the front of your car uphill instead of down.

There is a hose in the passenger foot area that is a drain for the A/C. That popped off my car once and the passenger floor was soaked for quite some time. Maybe this is the hose you were talking about, maybe not. Thought it would be worth mentioning.

Thanks Frank!! I will do that once I get home. Do I have to take taillight assyms out or is the triangle panel visible when I open the trunk? also where can I buy a silicone sealant?? Home depot maybe???

I fixed the A/C draining hose under the passenger kick panel while back but the problem still occurs.

Just the triangle panels. You can also use some RTV silicone gasket stuff as well.
