Water leaking into cabin on the drivers side
 
I keep getting water build up on my driver side under my carpet and only on the driver side. Has anyone had this issue before? Or any ideas what could be causing water to get in the my 2012 370Z.

Have you tried looking under dash for water droplets maybe on wires so you can trace the leak. Where on carpet does it start, high or is it only wet at the floorboard?
Maybe the AC drain is clogged.
How long have you had the car and how long and often has this been happening?
And if the370Z.com can't help you no one can.

Yea its only on the floorboard I've had it for 7 mo. and this is the 2nd time its happen. I had found a whole on the floorboard the first time cause the guy who owned it before me had led lights under the car and was running the wire through floorboard so I cover it thinking that was the issue.

Check the rubber gourmet on the driver side from the hood and see if it loose. It happened to me before.

Look for more holes and make sure they are sealed. If you have nice, round holes, you can get plugs in many sizes. Otherwise, RTV may be the answer.

Check the firewall and make sure all the seals are intact (and that the OP didn't poke a few holes).

IIRC, the A/C drain is on the right side of the car and shouldn't be the problem but I'm not 100% sure. FSM will have drawings and descriptions.

After sealing all the holes/leaks, make sure the carpet and padding are completely dry or mold/mildew can get started.

Do you have an amp in the car? If so, the previous owner may have run that wire through the big grommet on the driver's side of the firewall. Make sure it's sealed.

this is why i never by used... you never know what you're getting or how it was really taken care of... bought a used "newer" car at 18... it soaked me... i've bought/leased new ever since

best of luck to you op... that really sucks :shakes head:

I've had water come through my drivers side window at the car wash before with my windows all the way up. I'm absolutely sure the windows weren't cracked at all. It doesn't happen every time but has on a couple occasions. Not sure how or why

Your windshield has been replaced. That's the cause 90% of the time

78% of all statistics on the Intertubes are made up on the fly. :p

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