I have a 97 SS and everytime it rains it accumulates water on the floor board behind the passengers seat.It is not wet any where else except the floor board.Just wondering if any other SS owners have heard of this problem and if so how was it fixed? 97 sebring silver(Build#3090)

Our convertible leaked from day one. it turns out it was an improperly modled rubber piece that is on the top corner of the door where the door, window and ragtop all meet. Water traveled down the door panel and puddled at the driver's feet. Once we replaced the rubber piece, the water stayed out.

Check your seal around the back hatch and check your drain holes around the hatch.
Another thing to think about is water could be bypassing a drain and traveling in somewhere that you won't be able to see unless you remove your seats and/or carpet. It's easy to remove it all. Steve had our car apart the day we brought it home just to see how it all goes back together. I know where the drains are for the convertible, but not for the coupe, so maybe a HELM manual will help.
