Wet Interior

[momsrt]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum as a member, but I've been reading along for a few weeks now. I have a 2001 Silver Dodge Stratus RT Coupe, manual transmission. All in all she's been a great car with only a few minor repairs needed. However, now I notice that when it rains the driver's side floorboard gets soaking wet. (Yes, the sunroof is closed and the windows are up). Nothing else in the interior feels wet or looks wet, no signs of water leaking in. This has gone on a couple of weeks now. Now I noticed that, once again when it rains, my passenger side floor board feels slightly damp as well. Anyone have any ideas as to where the water is coming from? My car is beginning to smell a bit mildewy! Thanks!

Seeing that you have identified that this happens only when it rains, then you most likely have a leaking windshield. Was it replaced recently?
The door seals should be looked at too, but you say it is getting to both sides after a while, so I’m reluctant to think that is the problem. Beyond that, maybe a plug in the firewall has come out and letting water splash up against the backside of the carpet?

Now, another thought just hit me… When it rains, do you turn on your heat? If so, perhaps you have a leaking heater core.
