When it rains or I go to the car wash I end up with a lot of water on the floor in the back of my car. Has anyone experienced this? What can I do to fix it?

 

Year and model please. Convertible?

 

Hi sorry it's a 2012 Chrysler 200 touring

 

Check the weatherstrip around the back door on the side where the water collects. The weatherstrip goes all the way around the door, check it for it's full length. Check the door drains at the bottom of the doors. If you don't find anything there, you might need to remove the door trim panel to make sure the water barrier under it is intact.

Failing all that, have a friend spry water at the car with a hose while you watch from the inside to see if you can spot any leaks. Also, there are leak detectors you can buy that turn blue when they get wet. You might be able to trace the path of the water coming in that way.

The car in now 10 years old and it's possible that the floor pan has rusted through allowing water to get in from underneath the car.

Drying out a wet carpet takes time, work and patience. You need wet/dry vacuum and a fan and it will take days to get it really dry.
