Puddle behind passenger seat

Puddle behind passenger seat
I have a 2000 SS vert and for some reason a puddle forms behind my passenger seat on the floor, its not just damp but an actual puddle, it doesnt leak from the top, does anyone know what could be causing this?

If it only happens when it rains, etc you could probablly duplicate it by having someone dump a bucket of water over all the weatherstripping on the car while you're inside looking for drips. Or take it to a carwash and do the same thing... check windows, doors etc. If it's leakin you should be able to see it. If it's not any of that....could be a hole in the floor sending some water up or something, but it is too new for something like that. I guess that's what i would try
If it happens when it's not raining, time to lock the doors...

^yea what he said, and to drain the puddle out just pull the drain plug out from under the car and let it drain then make sure to put the plug back in so water doesnt start coming in that way too.
It happened to me once, when we had alot of rain for two days in arow but hasnt happened since

I've had this same problem for years. It only happens to me when I park on a hill with the nose facing downhill during a hard rain. I've tried to locate the problem and fix it but I haven't been able to do it so far. So for now I just make sure to face the nose uphill whenever I park on a hill. Kind of a pain, but it works and the car stays dry.

Basically if you flood the rear of the car with water and it pools up in the hatch sill area it will leak exactly as shown down the sail panel or behind the seat
SOLUTION: Drill two 1/8 inch holes on each side in the the hatch channel near the forward corners... right down into the outer wheel well area...
This keeps water from pooling up at the hatch seal corners and, and I've never had a problem since

The bigger key is just to understand what was happening, and I pulled my hair out until I was working on re-wiring my amps and discovered the same thing you did, that the water was draining down from the rear hatch area

BUMP! Well I finally found the darn leak! Any of you guys having this same problem also check that your hood cable grommet for the firewall is all the way screwed in. I guess over the years mine became worn and backed out of the firewall and everytime it rains it has a channel of water pumping down the inside of the hood underneath the glass heading straight for it. Mine was not in at all anymore and made for a huge puddle in the back driver floorboard. Since the floorboard is unlevel and the back is further down the water would run down the little channels and fill it up first making it look like the water was coming in from the back. So glad to finally have found it!!!
