Default Water getting on the floor

I have noticed that after it rains my floor is getting wet. Does anyone else have this problem? Any things I should check/replace?

If this is in the front under the dash, try cleaning the drain hose for the A/C. It's a small rubber tube on the firewall near the alternator. If it’s plugged the water will drain through the heater onto the floor.

if it is only after is rains i would take and clean the door jams real good clean all the window moldings and wile you are inside the car have a friend spray the passenger side with a hose on a low pressure setting that wy you dont force wter in somewere that its not leaking after you feel the floor starting to get wet have your friend stop spraying water wait a few seconds for some of the excess water to drain off than open the door and see if there is water getting in around the weather stripping of the window trim this way you can see the trail that the water is flowing and stop it at that point. my guess is that your weather stripping is getting old and is not holding a tight seal againnst the door and is leaking there.

Same problem as mine the rain would leak into the heater and drain onto the front passenger floor. When I unclogged the drain a quart of water drained out.

do any of you guys with tis problem have a sunroof? I almost never thought of the sunroof drain lines becoming stopped up! I mean the car is 10yrs old and it has never happend before. The car has always been parked under tree. Its a pain n the a** 2 keep clean.
