Hi there... Purchased my daughter a 1999 Grand Prix... the passenger
side rug (where your feet reside) is SOAKED... not damp... but
literally a gallon or so worth of moisture. I've:

1)  checked and double checked the door/window/trunk seals.
2) Checked the exterior drains under the wipers (air intake?).

Any other known worry spots?

Many thanks.

Pull the carpets and dry them out asap, or mildew will set in, then water
test the car, see if while sitting in the car as it being be sprayed, you
can see where the water runs in from. This I assume is not back drain from a
clogged ac drain?

Is it anti-freeze?  If so check the heater core.  Or do a search on this
group for the hundreds of other posts on this topic.

Remove the wiper cowl (easy to do) and check the seal near the HEPA
filter.  If it's off the lip of metal it belongs on, replace it, then
dry out the carpet.

Actually the issue & fix is quite simple. Have the A/C evaporator drain
pipie cleaned out. I had the same problem.
