Damn!! More water on the rear floor! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

We had a front come thru here last night with a couple of downpours and today, once again after Sandy did it, there was water on the floor rear passenger side only. After looking at it, it appears it is coming someplace from the door. The weather stripping on the bottom was wet and it looked like water trail marks over the plastic right above the floor.

I know these waterbags are prone to being bad, the build on mine is 8-11, but prior to Sandy I had zero leakage issues. The trunk is not wet either. It was just in the rear corner of the pass floorboard.

Guess I have to take it back to the dealer after I get home from my weekend road trip to N.C.

Bah!!!

Just make sure you soak up the water really good. I used a wet vac on mine also then left a fan on all night.

remove the interior trim from around the quarter glass and test it with a hose... if they are like the GTOs, there's barely any adhesive on the part (it bolts in)

edit: didn't see that you have a vert lol

Take it in and get the new revision water bag and new revision top. Here are threads I started showing both:

I am trying to get through the winter with this top before I start that process. And I am not sure if the water bag is the culprit in this case.

But thanks for the suggestion.....
