Default Few Questions

One question is i have my radar detector in the middle of my dash, and i was wondering if i moved it to the left side rite in front of me would it make a difference on the scanning and it picking up cops...

Another question underneath the spear tire is there anything below that, because water is it there and i want to drill a hole so the water can drain, and i dont want to hit something important...

AND i still cant find the source of my leak...everytime it rains water builds up from the right side (by wheel well) and makes it way down to the right side lower passenger floor mats..

ANY HELP GUYS...

Moving the detector wont matter much on detection unless it buts it behind the wipers

Leak crawl inside with a flashlight and have a trusted freind shut the lid and take a hose to it and watch for water ... Might be the seal or even I've seen the rear window leak run down into the trunk

Spare tire is nothing under but as always look before you drill

Frank you did not say if your car was moving or not in the rain when water is entering the inside of the car. If he car is in motion then ckeck for a seam crack in the wheel well above the tire. If there is a crack or small hole there then when the car is in motion the tire will throw water into the hole/crack. Just a thought as i found this problem on my Nissan Maxima, I looked high and low for the water entery point till a buddy told me about the wheel well on his Acura.
If this is not the problem then i beg your forgiveness for intruding and suggest doing as Bad Venge said.

You could also do it the reverse way. They use smoke machines to find leaks. Just put a smoke machine inside the car and watch for smoke coming out. You'll be suprised how many little gaps there are.

Likely it's coming from the TOP leaking down your plan will probably not help

Frank You still have not said if the car is standing still ( parked ) or in motion ( while driving down the road ) when the water is entering the car. Tell me when the enterior is getting wet and i will tell what to do next. No matter how the water is getting in there you need to get that carpet out of the car because if it is wet enough it will take too long to dry and mold will start to grow. I know this is what is happening with my Nissan Maxima.
