I had a small puddle of water on my passenger side floor mat after going through a car wash the other day, it's not there when it simply rains so I'm guessing the high pressure of the car wash pushed it through.
I guess I'll be hitting up my windshield seal with black RTV in the near future. :)

I have a humungous leak on the dirver side when it rains. It seems to be coming from somewhere around the clutch or above theres actually a stain on the carpet from where the water leaks down into a stream (the carpets black). Everytime it rains theres at least a 2 inch puddle at the pedals and it tends to leak all the way to behind the seat. Even 4 SHAMWOWS! can't even soak up all the water :lol:

Haha I have this too, I also get it when it snows (maybe that should tell me something).

I took a look at the first link posted - I have pretty much every one in my hatch :( tail lights, hatch fills with water, driver side floor puddles, bad window seals (driver side actually drips on me a bit when it rains)

I have the same drip there usually if i leave water from the hose running on that side for too long. also when i use a car wash as you mentioned.. i think it's the Seam Sealer of the hood hinge on that side..

I havent fixed it yet but im going to give it a try after reading this post!!
