I'll have to look at mine also. I developed the leak last year after being leak-free for 3 years but I still suspect mine to be TSB-related. Thanks for the info.

This leak has been a challenge, and a bonding experience as i never had to remove so many parts from my car at once lol, lets just hope i don't have any spare parts left when i put it back together 
But jokes aside, i really hope this helps people, especially the ones who were like me, after completing the tsb, were still back to the square 1. I was determined to find the leak as I did not want to think about water damage to my SJB or even a possibility of trading in the car.
Cheers!

Problem is, the leak can come from a few different places...
I found these door drain plugs to be the culprit in more than one occasions.
This one can be nasty because the water will rise inside the door and escape from behind the door panel, thus sipping onto the carpet.
I had a brand new GT500 in the shop with 2 inches of water above the carpet on both sides!!
Needless to say, those plugs never went back on and the ones in my car were also gone that same day.

That would be nice, but unfortunately it will never happen
Ouch that sucks, at least you got it fixed in time. And yes there are many places these cars can leak from, but in my case the only place that was left in my car was this. And since after getting everyone's input from the forums got me no new leads, i find this find interesting and helpful. Just one more area to add to the checklist!
