    It just started raining and water is leaking to my interior, it's having an effect on my electrical because when I turn my wipers on, they stay on after I switch them off... LOL. Anyone have this problem? im going in for warranty service after I take out all the car audio out of my car! I think they'll gay me if they see all the wires I have ran for my audio setup. Oh btw the water is comming from the passenger side below the blower.

    If you would have done a search you could have found your answer. All the guys who keep their car sitting outside or have had previous owners that did get leaves and other crap stuck in the evaporator drainage tube. Just clear it out with and air line or a hanger and it will be back to new. Maybe a hanger in not the best choice so do a search for "leaking interior" and you should find your answers.

    Use your warranty.

    Anyways..it might be a leaking evaporator core but you say there is water after a rain.

    Do you have a sunroof?
    The drain channels on the sunroof could of failed causing it to leak into the interior.

    Another possibility is that maybe there is a body grommet seal thats missing somewhere in the firewall/undercarriage area and the water is leaking from there.

    Either or..use your warranty!

    Warranty is going to be used after I put some stock pieces back on the car.

    They can't deny warranty coverage unless the "modifications" you did on the car directly effect the problem on the car.

    For example...if you just put some aftermarket wheels and you go in for a interior water leak and they deny warranty coverage, thats BS!! The dealer can only deny warranty coverage if a modification to the vehicle directly effects the problem.
