Has anyone had issues with water getting into their Camaro during heavy rain???
I was wondering if anyone out ther has came out to their camaro after a heavy rain and noticed that water got in to the vehicle that was not easily explainable. We got a heavy downpour of rain during the night Friday and I thought nothing of the rain possibly getting in the vehicle until I got some things out of the car on Sunday morning and behind the drivers seat the floorboard was soaked!!! I was in the front of our driveway so it was not from flooding into the vehicle, I had the windows and sunroof fully closed so I am really confused as to how my back seat driver floorboard was wet and I luckily had the back seat floor mat actually act like a sponge. I checked the functionality of the windows because the windows actually drop down about a quarter of an inch when you open the door and once you close the door they raise back up ( It is supposed to help with the sealing of the windows by depressurizing the cabin of the vehicle and then sealing the cabin once the door is closed again ) I have owned this 2012 Camaro for all of 2 weeks and needless to say I am hoping this is a fixable situation and not an ongoing problem. If any of you good people have any information that might help with troubleshooting the problem or any experience with a similar problem it would very much appreciated, Thanks.

Are you crazy. Half of these nut cases on this forum think it's a sin to have your car in the rain.
 I personally haven't experienced this problem. Good luck |

Call the dealer; I believe there are various TSB's out there addressing possible sources of this, as it is a known issue.

You might try this thread. http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread...32#post4383532
 You might try the search function at the top right of the forum.ETA: a search revealed similar issues related to everything from a problem with the a/c drain tube, weather stripping, window indexing, unsealed joint/hole, etc. Some related threads in the Camaro Issues/Problems sub forum. Hope the dealer can solve and fix quickly for you! Last edited by H0peful1; 05-14-2012 at 10:52 AM. |

We just drove my wife's 2010 SS from Ft Worth Texas to Savannah and back and three of the four travel days were driving through some huge thunderstorm downpours. No trace of a leak anywhere, and it does have a sunroof.
We drove a total of 2,300 miles and the car ran just fantastic, not any problems at all. Now to get it cleaned up will take some time but it was worth it. |

when I first bought my camaro I worried that the design of the upper door would lead to water coming in, but no matter how hard it rains it never gets in.

I realize now that you cannot leave the sunroof popped open when it rains hard. The sunroof by default is up maybe 3 inches at the back. This is wide open, and if the rain is anything but delicate you'll have a wet interior.
Otherwise, no problems. |

I never had issues with leaking to the floorboard out here in Seattle.
I did, sometimes, get a large amount of water that would drip onto the sill from the roof as I sat in the car, and tilted the roof to start draining into the open door area (or down the outside of the window if I closed the door quickly enough.

I have had a problem with water leaking into the trunk. The problem was with the drain line from the sunrooof. It had become disconnect inside of the trunk area. You may have a similar issue, just somewhere else inside the car. If the headliner is not wet then check in the rear seat area for moisture.
