But, yeah, that's definitely worth looking into.

Most likely your A/C drain is clogged. This has happened to me in multiple cars I owned.

You scumsssssss! You forgot to mention the door also has seals, including around the window, that could also be a possibility. Check all the simple stuff first. Had a few buddies that had to replace them. May not be your problem butbid check them for holes or tears

Not digging threads intentionally, but...

The wife's 2010 roadster convertible (totally original) is taking on water ONLY on the drivers side. After getting it all dried out (wet vac, towels) I had her sit in it and blasted it with the water hose for 30 min. No sign of leaks anywhere. With the car sitting in the same spot, it started raining again overnight. Driver's side floorboard behind seat is full again.

Has anyone experienced this that hasn't cut holes or made other mods?

Sounds like it might be a leaking door or window seal. IIRC, there is also a seal behind the B pillar finisher.

Roadsters dont have a B Pillar. Ishtim, heres a diagram of the seals for the top. Check #17, 18 and 19

Wet seatbelt sounds like a problem with the B pillar finisher. At least one thread on the subject.

Invest in a car cover asap.

But that should not be the ultimate solution to this problem.

I opened top halfway, wiped down all rubber seals with damp cloth, checked for cracks, pinches or other obvious seal failures and inspected the "tub" and the small open areas where the top sits when opened and found nothing.

We then made several failed attempts to locate a water leak via the "sit in the car while spraying it down" and after receiving responses from local shops not wanting the work, the wife dropped her 2010 Z at the dealer yesterday and picked up a Versa

as a loaner.

I'll report back...
