Where does an inch of water get into the rear passenger footwell of a 2001 LeSabre during a rain storm?

Answer 1

I have a 2000 LeSabre and always was supprised to find water in the drivers side floor after a rain. One day while waiting out a thunderstorm, I looked for the leak. I found water running out at the bottom of the door, behind the door panel. I looked for a drain hole in the door, and could not find one. (The water inside the door has to come out somewhere, I just couldn't find where!!!) I then looked at the weatherstrip along the door post behind the mirror and found the weatherstriping was wrinkled. I straightened up the weatherstrip and have not found any water for about a year. High and dry in my Buick

Answer 2

The most common cause of water getting into the rear passenger footwell during a rainstorm in a 2001 LeSabre is a leak in the seals around the rear window or door. Check for cracks or gaps in the window seals or door weatherstripping and repair or replace them as needed to prevent further water entry. Additionally, inspect the rear sunroof drains if the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, as clogs in these drains can also lead to water leaking into the footwell.
