Does anyone know of a place that will fix a car water leak in the Atlanta, Georgia area? I hope this is an acceptable post, because the car with the leak isn't my Marauder. (I hope. It's garaged, so I really don't know) My local body shop won't touch it. The windshield people say the windshield isn't leaking, so I've got no place to go.

It's leaking from a body seam in the driver's floorboard. It doesn't look like collision damage, just a failed seam seal. It could be leaking from somwhere else, but I don't see where. My wife insists it is, but I've eliminated the obvious stuff like the door, firewall grommets, etc.

I had a molded grommet for the hood cable split and act like a funnel, the driver's side floorboard was always soaked.

Does it have a sunroof? Sun roof drain lines are notorious for clogging and then leaking in the footwells.

You say it is not your Marauder,then what car is it. I would check the door drains. I had a crown Vic sport that had clear tape over them on one door. Get inside car and have someone with a hose spray areas as you search and listen. Don't use a spray nozzle on hose

It's a first gen Honda Fit. We checked the doors, and it isn't coming from there. The water appears on the driver's floorboard, near the firewall. I can see water leaking at one body seam, but it may be leaking from somewhere else. We've use a hose to pour water and looked, and can't find anything.

Fortunately, it doesn't have a sunroof. I avoid sunroofs, and wouldn't dream of buying a "T top" car.

I'll keep an eye on that on my Marauder. You did a great job fixing the damage.
