convertible water in floor boards, where are drains? Options

[homebuilder]

Hi,


I have a 1995 with water gathering on the floor on the drivers side only. It does not appear to be coming from the top.

I read somewhere that there are drain channels set up to route water from the top into a drain and that these get clogged. Where are these channels and where are the drains/clogs?

Any other suggestions where the water could be coming from?

I have my interior mostly out and I am about to wire the radio back but I do not wish to do any wiring until I find where the water is coming from so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

here, you have to remove the skirts...

Thanks for the quick response. With fear that this sounds like I am in middle school, but can you give me an idea how to remove the skirt?

Also, I am guessing that's where it ends, where does it originate?


Thanks again

there are about 5 to 6 screws, in the front tire well, underneath and rear tire well, then it pops out

Thanks, I am going to take that off this weekend and explore.

If that is where the water ends up, where and how does it collect? I am guessing there is some sort of collection pan and drain? Where is that located?

I may stumble upon it this weekend but any heads up is appreciated!

The water follows a drip guard that runs around the back of the top, and the water is simply allowed to run into the front of the rear quarter panel and drains out of the hole pictured above. We had a good bit of rain today, and I moved my headliner out of the way to see it in action. It's not the prettiest of sights, but it works.
