Yesterday, I finally took out the foam tool case & noticed there was a water leak from right in the middle of the wheel well. The last two days, it was raining, however I don't know how I could've gotten rain in there. It's not flooded or anything, there's just spots in the carpet (bottom of the well) that appears like patches of water just got there recently (It was still very damped when I touched it). Anyone else have this problem? I hope I don't have to go to the dealership for this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm assuming here that you're talking about the well in the trunk, right?

If so, I'd expect any water that gets past your trunk gasket to end up down there, so that's where I'd start looking. Next time you wash the car, put some newspaper in there. Make a point of spraying the edges of the trunk when you rinse. When you've got the car dry again, open the trunk and look for water on the paper. If you find it, have the dealer fix the seal under warranty.

Good luck

... or are you talking about the passenger side floorpan? If you are running the AC, then the condensor drain hose might have been clogged or squeezed closed. Mine was once by the floormat which had ridden forward and pinched the hose.

Yes in the trunk...I should've made it more clear. I'll post here as soon as I know what's going on for future reference.
