Just had a couple of hours of rain and I can confirm that my drivers side floor is 100% dry :supz:
Now I've just gotta do the same thing on the passenger side, will try to take a photo of the split seam before I seal it up.

I had the same issue in my first summit. It was the boot that the harness goes through in the driver side fender. I siliconed the crap out of the boot and it was fixed. No more wet floor. You have to take the fender off tho which sucks

Yup I did this too, think there are a few pics on the previous page. Stopped some water getting in, but with my car it seemed to be coming in from EVERYWHERE :lol: I'm pretty sure i've done every fix by now - windscreen seal, harness boot, seam seal behind the dash, and the one that finally eliminated the last last bits of water getting in - the seam for the drain area above the harness boot (on both sides of the car) Now 100% leak free :D

I had this problem about two years ago and tore my car about to find out where it was coming from since I was getting puddles in my car. The water puddles up by your windshield wipers and then is supposed to drain down through your fenders and out the bottom of your car. It's a simple fix though. TAKE YOUR FENDER LINERS OUT AND CLEAN ALL THE LEAVES OUT OF YOUR FENDERS! I pulled mine out and there was a lot of leaves and gunk up in there blocking the draining spot. I haven't had a problem since. :D

I removed the fender liners (and leaves) already since they scrubbed on my tires.

Check under the hvac grille, passenger side of the firewall. It's where your hvac sucks air in and it has a drain that gets easily clogged by organic gunk.
