Default floor/carpet gets wet everytime it rains

Everytime it rains, the floor board/mats in my car get wet. If its a heavy rain, the mats in the back seat get wet as well. I havent driven the car in 5 days and just went to go drive & noticed there is mold on my steering wheel. What is causing the leak??

Window seals, sun-roof seals etc. The list goes on. We can’t diagnose it from our keyboards. You’ll either have to hunt around and find the leak yourself or pay someone to do it. You could try running the hose over the windows, windshield etc to see if you can see the water coming in. Good luck...

Have you checked to make sure the cowl drains are clear?

look for a short rubber tube with a flattened end coming out from the passenger side of the firewall. you may have to jack up the car so you can look up from under the engine compartment to see & reach it.

It could be several things. You won't know until you get down and dirty - or hire someone else. the water is coming from somewhere - you just need to find it.
