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?

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

Re: Rain Rain Coming In!
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.

Check for leaking seals around the tail lights.

Re: Rain Rain Coming In!
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.
