water on the floor I need help

I need help solving a few issues...

I picked up a 76 911 from my brother..I live Vancouver Canada..Ya it Rains.

Anyways I'm getting water coming in from so many places its crazy..
First thing I did is replaced the seals and re installed the windows front and rear.

I think it helped..But today I woke up to ! inch on the passenger floor..
I took of the door panels and they are soaked..

I put a hose against the window and water was running in through the speaker.

Anyways I'm having a brake down..!! The car is sweet and mechanically great..


But I cant put in the new carpets till I solve all of the issues..

I think i should take the doors of and seal the openings to see if the windows have been done right or is it a door seal...

Question....??? are the doors inside supposed to be dry? I mean they do have drain holes and no door is crazy water proof??

Has anyone had any issues like this ? any suggestions?

If you have a compressor gently blow out the sunroof drains. Over time they get clogged with all sorts of things...

"I put a hose against the window and water was running in through the speaker."


Pull the door cards, the plastic water barrier is most likely damaged or missing.

+1 on plastic water barrier being missing...

Also make sure drains in your door bottoms are clear.

Some water will naturally run down the window glass and through the door shell.

A weatherproof fitted cover wouldn't be a bad idea
Even after this issue is sorted out.

Check the windshield wipers and the washer nozzle for looseness, if so that is where the water is coming in from. I bet when you drive in the rain it leaks onto your foot, right?

Ask me how I know???
