Pontiac Grand Prix Structure Body Safety Report | Sept 15, 2009
Reported on Sept 15, 2009
| AFTER A RAIN, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS ARE SOAKED WITH WATER. THE RAISED PORTION UNDER THE SEAT REMAINS DRY. THE CEILING AREA AROUND THE MOON ROOF IS COMPLETELY DRY. THE CARPETING LEADING DOWN TO THE FLOOR (CONSOLE COVERING, AREA BELOW THE DOORS, AREA UNDER THE DASH) ARE ALL DRY. ONLY THE LOWEST PORTION OF THE FLOOR IS WET, AND IT IS COMPLETELY SOAKED. IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE WATER ENTERS FROM EITHER AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE PLASTIC COWL IS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS, OR IN THE ROOF-BODY SEAM ON TOP OF THE ROOF WHERE THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE ROOF MEETS THE TOP OF THE DOOR JAM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER YET, BUT PLAN TO. IN THE MEANTIME, I SHOP-VAC'D THE WATER OUT AS BEST I COULD AND KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE ARE ELECTRICAL CABLES UNDER THE FRONT CARPET AND THEY ARE WET. *TR | |
