Water in Passenger Floorboard [*]

Deezul_AwT · 10-03-2008, 07:58 AM

I don't think my problem is AC related, as I see the puddles after rainstorms. I still need to hit up the dealership for a new deflector and see if that works. I won't put in new carpet until then.

And even then I might not bother. The heat generated by the cat on the floor will keep my toes toasty this winter.

I didn't even bother buying a new deflector. i just cleaned mine up and secured it with some glue. Haven't had a problem since. My car (04) came with the in-cabin-filter. It was loaded with nasty stuff... so if yours has that, please make sure to replace it. Much longer and mine would have probably made me sick.

I tried using the original, but water just rolls right over it. No air filter in the 2000 GP. My '04 Impala had the leak, and I replaced the filter and reattached the deflector and it was fine. I'm TEMPTED to put a filter in my GP and just replace it every 6-12 months and use it kind of like a sponge.

On another note. I have something coming up that may be the permanent fix to the rubber seal, yet just as easy to remove if you need to get to the cabin air filter. You will be able to do away with the piece of rubber altogether and NEVER have to worry about it again. I will be test fitting one on my car very soon and will keep you all updated.

Very soon as in this weekend.
