Default Water pooling in rear on passenger side

Hi,

I am new to this website and I thought I would ask this question before I go to the dealership. I have a 1996 ES300 and when it rains hard, I get water pooling on the floor on the rear passenger side. Has this happened to anyone here? If so, how can I fix it?

Thanks

thats odd.... does it have a sunroof?

one common reason for water leakage like this is the drainage for the sunroof gets plugged and overflows...

other than that, the only thing you can really do is to find out where the water is getting in... stick someone inside the car and start spraying it with a hose - start with one rear side and work your way around... see if the person inside can locate the leak... do one section at a time to make sure the water isn't take a while to drain down to the bottom...
