Subaru: Rain Rain Coming In!

    Rain Rain Coming In!

    My son has a 1997 Outback. The passenger side rear floor is filling
    with water. He is away at college. Today he called to say the rear
    floor passenger side was full of water. There is no water in the rear
    wagon area nor in the front. He didn't drive it today. It sat in a
    heavy rain all day. He has noticed moisture in the wagon for some
    time. He will be home next week. Any suggestions on how to locate this
    leak.

    Thanks, Dave

    Leaking window seal, or blocked door drains maybe?

    I would start with checking to see if the rear window was down

    Make sure the drain for the HVAC isn't blocked up with leaves or mold or
    that the hose isn't bent. TG

    Thanks, Andrew. Great idea! My son drove the car this evening and
    reported that it sounds like water is sloshing around in the rear
    passenger door. Wednesday when he gets home we will inspect the door.
    Any suggestions on how to clean and keep the drains clear?

    Thanks, Dave

    The drains in the door are blocked, look under the door and with a piece of
    wire or small screwdriver unplug them, this will fix it, also the door inner
    plastic is damaged somehow and the trim should be removed to fix it at some
    point or the door trim will rot over time.

    Thanks for the information. Next Tuesday when my son brings the car
    home we will unplug the drains per your directions. Thanks, Dave

    Check for leaking seals around the tail lights.

    I had a similar problem with my 2000 GT wagon. There are drainage rails on
    the underside of the car under the passenger and driver seats. There are
    small holes in them that should drain. Make sure they are not plugged up.
