Water in back seat floor, passenger side

[Krista]

I have a 2010 Chevy Malibu and I found water in the floor behind my passenger seat. I thought maybe I had a leak somewhere because it had been raining so I checked and found nothing. It did it again a couple days later, but this time it hadn’t been raining. There is no water anywhere else except the back seat floor behind the passenger seat. Any ideas what it could be?

There are A LOT of posts regarding this issue. Everything from the AC drain hose to the moonroof/sunroof drain hoses.

Give it a read…it might prove useful.

VW’s do that too. Its a fault in the drain lines from the sun/moon roof. They can sometimes be blown out with compressed air and sometimes they have to be replaced. They are usually a plastic tube that runs down the pillar between front and back seat and dumps on the ground, that breaks or plugs up and then water finds its own path.

EDIT After watching Erics vid I realise I do not know for a fact that the drains will run down the center pillar between the doors. I think I was surmising or repeating something I had been told.

I actually have a video covering how to find leaks like this. I would also check the AC drain as suggested.
