So my passenger side carpet was wet --pulled it up, pretty soaked, all along the pan, especially in front. At first thought the AC was draining some pooled water, but today found more water after a rain storm. Can't find the damn leak anywhere - weather stripping seems OK, no holes, etc. I think it might be coming from where the fender, doors, windshield fairing and all come together, but damned if I can find it. Anyone got any bright ideas (aside from driving in the rain with a flashlight, which I will do later today)? Thanks!

you could also put a hose on it and move it around until the leak is found.

i have the same issue just on drivers side. mine is coming from a broken seal on the top of the windshield. i plan on one day getting some sealant and re-sealling it myself.

Go through a car wash and look at all your seals when its doing its thing.

Ooohhhh I found it - way up in the corner, basically unreachable until I pull the fender off. Oh joy. Pics to follow

OK, so mission accomplished. Once again, no garage, sub 40 degrees, chilled my butt off, but figured the following pictures might help someone else in future (BTW, sorry about focus issues, as well as Photobucket bug where pic won't stay rotated):

Passenger fender comes off pretty easy except for a) Who is the dope who decided to put the antenna holder bolt here?:


and b) Who is the friggin idiot who put the front bolt under the bumper -- I never bothered taking this off:


Holes once exposed:

Bottom hole from inside (BTW, why do ECU retaining bolts go straight to outside world?):


Why I couldn't fix top hole from inside:


Top hole cleaned up:


and patched:


Same with bottom:
