Default The whole Water under the carpet thing...

First off, no it not the pins... I have removed the carpet and seat and taken a hose and started drenching the out side on the passenger side and think i am half way to finding out where it coming from.

Water seem to be coming from the other side of a small black wire terminal of some sort that is located behind the passenger side kick panel. Water runs down the crease of the kick panel and the inside section of the firewall, down the edge of the floor board and pools around the seatbelt bolt. Hence wicking up and soaking the under side of the carpet

How do i get to the other side of that wire terminal with out taking off the quarter panel? Can i just silicone around it?

on to the driver side leak...

Side note: seats electrics are inoperable. and i think i found out why haha

HELP!!!!!!

I had the same problem. Taking the fender off is a pain in the butt. You have to remove the front grill, bumper, and hood in order to get the fender off. When I did mine most of the spring clips that attach the fender to the wheel well were rusted seized and broke. I would try siliconing around the connector from the inside first, then if it doesn't solve it you can go through the hassle of taking the fender off.
Good luck.
