funny thing customers drops a car off today for some work and mentions something about water leaking during ran(its been raining for a straight week here in MD) and it was 94 camry so i took my air blower and that fixed the problem. Im gonna wait so Rx can take some pics and make a DYI in a couple of weeks since people are requesting.

Default For the love of God please help me

Sorry for the late bump guys. About two months ago I noticed water leaking from space between the headliner and the front windshield. I assumed that I had a leaky windshield since the weather-stripping on the outside was loose. Then one day it rained and all my windows and door lock switches stopped working. After a couple of warm days whatever got wet, dried off and they started working again.

Then last week it started raining cats and dogs and 3 inch puddle of water formed inside my cup holder. My car sat there for 2 weeks and when I went to go start it NOTHING worked. No radio, dash lights, windows, car wont start.

Now my life has fallen apart because I fear for the worst and have come here to see if anyone can give me some insight on how to check all the various drains in the car.

Sorry for the long post

ended up being a leaky windshield, a buddy of mine works for a glass company and poped one in for me for 130 bucks, no more leaks. Check to see if your windshield is a Toyota if not most likely has been replaced and somone didnt do too good of a job. In my case that is exactly what happend
