The other places to check are the front drains, which if clogged up causes water to enter the interior in strange places.

Unsuccessful attempt

I had the sunroof seal replaced on my 996 because it was leaking. I tried cleaning out the sunroof drains first and that didn't work.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car is leaking, the floor in the back seat behind the driver side is wet. Don't see any water on the sides, the carpet around it. Where could this be coming from? Luckily it doesn't rain much in LA...

POST 2Original post

Have you cleaned any of your drains since you got the car including sunroof drains?

POST 3Original post

have the rear window seal checked. you might be getting a rattling sound from that area when driving over rough pavement. had that happen on my 993 years ago.

POST 4Original post

My guess is the sunroof drain hoses as well, or maybe just the sunroof seal. Could be one of the drain hoses has come loose from it's fitting. There are two, back side of the sunroof on each side. They drain out the back and exit inside of the wheel liner in front of each back wheel. The exit seal is known to clog up since it is a "flap seal", i.e., water exits but can't get back in. The other places to check are the front drains, which if clogged up causes water to enter the interior in strange places.

POST 6Original post

Oops, stand corrected on the location of the sunroof drains by diagram above. Anyway, clean all the drains!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. I'll go check all the drains. So odd, the carpet was wet on the floor, but no water coming down the side anywhere. Like as if the water came from under the rear seats along the floor

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 11850295

That's a classic symptom of a clogged sunroof drain.

POST 9Original post

I agree that you should have the lines blown out first and see if that fixes the problem. I had the sunroof seal replaced on my 996 because it was leaking. I tried cleaning out the sunroof drains first and that didn't work. Replacing the seal worked.
