Pontiac: Water leak, etc.

There have been many probs on the newer Bonnevilles with the water
deflectors internal to the door developing leaks. The water deflector is
basically a plastic shield with a butyl seal surrounding the perimiter. If
you remove the interior trim panel, you'll see the water deflector is the
skin underneath. Take a few cups of water, it may take several, and pour
onto the driver door exterior glass with door open. Look all along the
bottom edge of the interior trim for water running in from underneath the
trim panel. I can almost guarantee that this is where the water is coming
in. Hope this helps a little. Chances are that it could also be the main
door seal to the body, but I doubt it.

I have yet to discover where our problem is, and my mechanic has and will be
working on it (after the ice goes away). My floor board in my wife's 94
Grand Prix, also has water in it. At first, I thought it was a problem with
the body sealant .. but at this point (I know, I'm not such help) I'm not
sure where its coming from.

Is it in the passenger front? I don't know about the 94, but the newer Grand
Prix's have that problem, and they have been finding clogged AC drain hoses up
behind the glove box

Nope, mines the drivers front.

My 2000 Grand am had that problem as well. I was wondering where the
water was coming from.

Chris,
Did you ever find the leak. If not, remove the molding. Underneath the carpet
and underneath a rubber shield at a point about 1-2" below the hood latch
release is a oval machined hole. Right behind the hole it is supposed to be
hollow. However, if there is foam rubber right up against the hole, it can
become saturated after heavy sustained rain. You can easily take on a few
gallons. Also, the carpeting must be taken up, water vacuumed, and must be
allowed to dry. It will NEVER dry out on its own under there. A huge pain in
the ass, but this was my problem.

when it rains the water is going into the aiir vents on the car bye the
wipers, but no draing out, it is then following the firewall, that when
these gm cars were made the firewall never mated with the rest of body
and at the assembly plant on some cars they just put a rubber seallent
to fix where the metal did not meet to be welded, but not enough for a
recall, trust me on this o

Where did you learn to write? JC Whitney?

Do us all a favor and try to form a coherent sentence next time.
