    Water leak from under the passenger side dash

    Hello! I have a BAD water leak when it rains. It somehow comes into the passenger side floor area behind the glove box. It will easily fill up the front floor pan with these crazy Florida rain storms and spill into the rear pan. I heard that there is some kinda flapper valve or something on the fire wall that dry rots? NO MoonRoof.

    If you have a moon roof, it is very possible the drain line from it has clogged or detached in the area of the floorboards. It may also be coming from the wiper cowl area drain.

    Check the lower corners of the windshield. Mine had the rubber pulling loose from the glass and there was an inch of crud water on the floor,soaking the carpet. I used liquid tape black rubbery goo and the car stays dry...

    Check the weather stripping around the windshield for cracks. Seem to remember peeps having a leak issue with the rear window molding as well. How's the door weather stripping?

    Mine does every so often. Can you check that without lowering the headliner?

    Open the moon roof and check the moon roof drains for blockage. Very common. Daily dust & silt build up and block them.

    Thanks for the replies. With a little creative searching, I found this video. Apparently, it is a very common issue on the panther cars.
