My Celica is leaking, Water soaking the carpets...help please Options

[circuscatch85]

My Celica, primarily in the colder months (but it does happen in the summer, too), seems to let in water. The carpets in the two back seats and the passenger carpet all get soaked, but not the driver's side carpet. I also get a lot of moisture (it even forms water drops sometimes) on the inside of my front and rear windshield. I know the obvious answer is that my car is leaking in water, but i had my mechanic look at it and he didnt know what was causing it. I'm just wondering if any of you guys have had a similar problem or might know what the cause is, thanks in advance

I had a truck with a leaking heater core, and that leaked into my cab, but if you say your heater is working properly, then I doubt if that's your problem. My other thought is, has your car been wrecked? I have a friend with a Firebird that has been wrecked. Every time it rains, his water gets into the cab somehow under the windshield or through the firewall somehow. I think it was fixed at a sh*tty body shop, but you never know, it might be the same situation.

As far as i know it hasn't been in a crash. I looked up the carfax report and it didnt show anything, just routine checkups and oil changes and whatnot. I also looked for new bolts and screws and stuff but everything seems to be from 96. My parents seem to think i have a rust whole in the bottom of my car, but my cars been up a bunch of times at the mechanics and he's never noticed anything. I'm totally stumped. 3/4 of my floor is wet and i have no idea how it's happening haha
