Default Car flooded


well after the car accident and getting my car back the past couple days have been pouring...i wake up this morning and look in my car and theres like less then ankle high of water on the ground behind the drivers seat and it was all wet in front of the drivers seat on the ground. not wet AT ALL on the pasenger side. question, is the rubber lining on the bottom of the winshielf be able to lift up or is it suppose to be glued down? i dont think i left my door cracked open last night, so im thinking when they fixed my car theres a leak now...what do you think guys.....heres pic of the car after it was in the crash..what do you think this could be coming from?

I went out to the garage to check on this area on my car. The rubber strip that meets the windshield can be flipped up, but the black matted piece (indicated by the arrow in your picture) is immovable.

I hope you find the problem and get it fixed successfully. Let us know.

Could you get inside and have someone spray it with a hose? At least you would know where it was coming from.

I have this PDF saved to my desktop a while ago; it's a TSB for water leak into the cabin. I'm not sure how to link it on here, but give this a try... copy and paste it to your browser bar. I hope it works.
