Re: 2002 v6 3800 leaking?

Although I would only be guessing at what the problem could be - I can say that as long as you didn't do something like leave the window open, it would definetly be covered by warrenty.

It's possible that the drain holes in the bottom of your door are plugged and the water is not getting out when I runs down the inside of your door..........and enters your car.....

It's also possible that your heater core is leaking and is draining into the car......

Just taking a stab here...

ITs a hardtop?

hmm... might be an issue with your weatherstripping. Your windows close all the way up to the seal right?

If not maybe something wrong with the weatherstripping.


If you want I'll sell you a pair that didn't leak out of a 2000 hardtop v6 Camaro. Were taken out around 43,000 miles.

$60 shipped?(since it might be like $15 to ship them, they are heavier and bulkier then you woudl think.)

I converted to t-tops.

Just an idea, on some different vehicles the drain hose for the A/C unit comes disconnected leaving a wide open hole that leaks on your floor board.

Re: 2002 v6 3800 leaking?

do you have a hose?

I'd hose the top of the window and see what happens.

IF you want to try new weather stripping keep in mind I have a set that didn't leak off a 2k v6 hardtop... only took them off for my t-tops.
