Nothing on top of the tire is wet, so I'm guessing the leak must be coming in from below. In searching for possible water entry points, only one seems obvious: a rubber plug that covers a circular opening to the outside (about a half-dollar size) in front of the wheel well; but the rubber plug is very snug and seems unlikely to let water in. I'd love to hear anyone's ideas for where the water is coming from. THANKS!

This is out of my trade but I've seen plenty and most water leaks were from the top thru windows and doors etc not from below unless you have been in extreme water conditions. If there has been body work from a collision I would start with what was fixed there, T Guest Anonymous Poster tunacorona@msn.com Nov 8, 2006, 5:56 PM Post #3 of 3 (5452 views) Re: Subaru Impreza mystery water leak Sign In I have the exact same problem. The water is coming from the rear side window, running down the interior side panel, underneath the carpet, into the spare tire well. To prove it to yourself, pull the rear carpet out by loosening the screw attaching it to the back seat. Sprinkle baby powder around the spare whell well and trunk platform. After the next heavy rain, you will see a water trail in the baby powder.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
