Passenger rear floor SOAKING WET
I was driving my car the other morning after heavy rains "I live in Oregon" and reached behind the right seat for something and the carpet and floor were soaking wet! And no the door was not left ajar, The window was up and the sunroof was closed. Anyone else have this problem yet? I have soaked the car with a hose and cannot duplicate it. I am starting to think it came from the seal under the door and caused by road spray??

I have not has the windshield replaced, But I will check to see if I can locate the Sunroof drains, the car was purchased new in june 07 and has been garaged its whole 5000 mile life so I cant imagine it would be pine needles or any leaf debris clogging the drain tubes. They may be mis-installed. Thanks for all the replies and I will keep you posted.

I was talking with one of the techs at work about this problem, they have been replacing the cavity(door) seals with a new part number that has drains on the bottom part to let the water out.
There is a TSB for this, but your dealer will have to verify that your car has the old style seal(no drains) and that it is in fact leaking water inside the car.

My 07 mcs had up to 1 " of water in the back when raining. I'm told it was the 1st report of it happening. They did everything - new seals, adj doors, sunroof etc. Nothing worked and miniusa took the car back for examination and gave me a new one. It was coming in thru at the rear of the doors between the steel inner shell and the "leatherette" interior finish door panel. I would think there was a sealing problem with the cassette in the door that holds all the window parts.

Thanks, I need to make the first checkup on mine this month. So I'm going to bring it up to the dealer also. I was hoping I would get one more wet floor so I could actually take it in and show them, but hopefully I'll get the seal replaced and will not have the problem again also.

FYI: I took my Mini in today because it had a leak in what seemed to be from the boot window. It turns out that the drain tube of the back seat sunroof was not connected. The water was traveling backwards on the liner, and would come out where the center brake light is, on top of the back window.
Maybe in your case the water travels to one side, and that is how you get your rear floor wet? Try running the hose on top of the sunroofs, and see if that will duplicate the problem. Good luck.

Hi guys, My 2007 MCS has the dual sunroof and I went home for spring break and found my floors soaking wet. It had rained heavily the night before so I naturally thought it was my sunroof or sunroof drains. I had my mechanic take a look at it. He ripped out all the carpet and padding to try and save it from mold and mildew. He had a friend of his soak the car from the outside with a water hose while he sat inside and looked for a leak. It eventually got too hot for him and he turned on the A/C and Turns out it was the A/C drain leaking. I had a lot of water in my back floors. I get my cooper back this weekend. Hopefully some of this information helps someone out there!
