What Would Cause Water In A Chrysler Sebring Convertible?
Question by ME12345678910: What Would Cause Water In A Chrysler Sebring Convertible?
I have a Chrysler Sebring Convertible and every time there is a a heavy rain, about a gallon of water accumulates on the drivers side floorboard. The top is in excellent condition and this is the only place that water leaks into.
Any ideas as to what’s up?

The top, obviously, isn’t in as excellent condition as you think. That’s the leading problem with convertibles, rain intrusion. Believe me, I know. I’ve worked on enough of them and have also owned several. However if it’s only the floorboard that’s getting wet you might have a leak around the cowl, under the windshield. The only way to find out is use a hose and hose down one section at a time until the water comes in.

Check the drain outlets in the floor. if they are clogged, water will build-up in the car instead of draining out. There should be a on the right and left, just in front of the rear wheels. Good luck.
Since it’s coming in the front, I would check inside the front fenders for a buildup of debris. Leaves and pine needles and esp those maple whirlybird seeds get inside the fenders via the space above the hood, below the windshield wipers.
You can open your door, and look inside the fender. A bent coat hanger can hoe out the debris. Then try to rinse the smaller debris out by pouring water into the area below the windshield, and letting it drain down. Or, you could carefully hose it out after hoeing it out. A shopvac with a very skinny, long crevice tool might come in handy.
Once you have the debris out, there are little creases at the bottom of the fender. These are the drains for water. Make sure they are clear.
All this assumes you park level and that the water isn’t traveling forward from the rear. If it’s coming from the rear, then you have to clear your drain flaps at the bottom of the area just ahead of the rear wheels. Then you can check below the rear window for trapped debris in the water management trough below the rear window. You will prob have to take out the rear well cover (the thin vinyl fabric cover that the top folds into- it usually unsnaps all around). Vacuum it all out, and be sure to check those rear drains at this point if you haven’t already.
Mine does the same thing. You probably have a leak around the top windowns and the top of the cars convertible top. To test this, the next time it rains tape a peice of plastic over this area. If it is dry after the rain you will know this is where the leak is coming from.
