Wet rear seats - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys

So when it rains hard for a day or two my rear seats get wet badly
The boot is dry and windows arent leaking so i have no idea what the problem is here

This just started happening a few months ago and i have had the car for years

Check inside the boot area under all the panels. Only other things could be the glass seals or antenna.

try taking the rear seats out for a little while and see if you see water pool anywhere

Boomerang · 06-08-2017, 09:33 AM

any mods?
rear shocks/springs?

Don't give them water bottles.

Crazy idea, but could water be splashing up from underneath? I suggest removing the rear seat cushions and looking around for anything out of the ordinary. Every hole should have a tightened bolt in it.

Or an oval rubber plug for the hole in the floorpan that's used as a tiedown point for shipping.
Should have been taken from the glovebox and installed at the port.

Aftermarket tails? If so the rain guides are not flush and are sending water to the lower quarter panel areas in the rear (would cause my rear seats to get wet on rainy days). Remove the interior panels on the left and right sides in the trunk. take a cloth and remove the built up water from the area (going to be a tight squeeze).
