Default Wet Floorboards

My floorboards in the front get wet when I drive during rain storms. I got under the car and looked all over but didnt see any holes or any place where the water could get in to make the carpet all wet. Where else should I look or what could it be?

:shrug: It's leaking somewhere. Hit it with a garden hose and follow the moisture.

If you have a sunroof, sometimes the drain gets clogged up and depending on where the drain hose runs it may back the water up into the interior of your car. I'm not sure how it is routed on tiburons



Had this happen on an equinox once, except the drain tube ran right next to the main PCM harness in the drivers kick panel. Drain got clogged, water backed up soaked the carpet and got into the main connector and fried the PCM, known problem on those cars though.
