Fred on LongRoof said it's probably coming from the side window, roof seam or possibly the vent window...
there's about 3 gallons of water in my driver fender and another half a gallon in the plastic fender tray/cupholder.

boy, am I glad I didn't install my amp and sub in there yet.

Should be under the Spare. Unless somebody did some patching down there. In that case, drill.

If the wagons like the sedan, there's a little 1" round knockout ( not knocked out at all) 1/2 way between the rear wheel & the bumper.
From underneath look at the vertical sheetmetal.

someone mentioned the drain being 'clogged'
I assumed there was a hole already there. The car was resprayed at one point and I'm wondering if it got sprayed over which clogged it

I'll have to buy some rust inhibitor and primer if I'm drilling through the rear fenders... last thing I want is my rust free wagon to turn into a rot basket

Maybe there's a way to check with a hose, starting down low and moving up, to see where the water is coming in, then use some sealant to stop the leak?

I'll use my ultrasonic tester when the shop opens up to find it, but it sounds like a pain in the balls to fix. apparently I have to remove the headliner

15 years worth of leaking, collecting, evaporating etc.
If you give it a place to go, hit it with undercoat &....just drive.

Drill it. Oil it. Done.

It leaks from the roof rack, roof cross bars, side windows, vent windows and probably the vista roof doesn't leak. They all come from the factory that way. Boo.

Mine are rotted from the inside out on the marshmallow cuz I didn't do that. Sad

I'll send you a bucket of Germany's own Mike Sanders Hohlraumfett, if you're willing to cover the shipping... Very Happy

After that, you'll be able to drive and park your car underwater submarine-style if you have to and not worry about rust ever again.

My old blue 96 RMW, the super clean NC car, was filled with water in the drivers rear. Drilled a small hole, problem solved.

Hope you properly dried the fenders, and sanded any rust before you did that or else you just painted over all that moisture.

Arrow Much better!

I would strip all of that off, dry it off very extensively undercoat it then oil it every oil change. Less waste oil to deal with that way too! Laughing

I mean, it's just a 1/4" hole... I was just planning on filing the hole back again to bare metal and spraying it again after drying it properly.

There was no rust or corrosion at all in the inner fender.

No rust at all is all well and good until you undercoat something with moisture trapped underneath it. I would use some POR-15 or SEM rust shield or something first then some undercoating.


I just don't know why the factory didn't have a proper drain hole in there scratch

Wire wheel it, if that fails. Heat gun and a paint scrapper. None of that stuff breathes at all so anything under it will just eat the other way out. Kind of like when Rusty Jones wasn't applied right.

It will certainly help with that, drain is better than no drain! You just don't want to leave that moisture under there for TOOO long. You can let it slide a bit until we finish this false April and actually get into May Rolling Eyes and its dries that crap up. But remember that rust doesn't sleep!
