Just got my 05 licensed today. Have had it 2 days :-)

71k miles

Parked in my sloped driveway in a fashion water ran towards rear of vehicle.

Rained hard. Gotta love Seattle.

I open the car to move it and noticed wet headliner and water somewhat saturated along edge of where door seal attaches.

Just got done with hairdryer but feel i should remove rear (right) passenger seatbelt piece to eliminate moisture.

Is this common? I can't quite figure where the water snuck in.

Even better, when I started the car to move it the low coolant warning light came on. Then it went off...and on...then finally stayed off. HA

Thoughts?

 

On the first issue, if your car has a sunroof, then the drains are most likely blocked; this causes rain water to get past the seals.

On the second issue, your coolant expansion tank is most likely a bit low and parking on a slope caused the sensor to activate. If topping up, be sure to use the proper coolant as the Dexcool (per spec) is not compatible with the usual Prestone type antifreeze (the green stuff),

 

Sunroof drain clearing how-to's are in here somewhere, have a go with the search function. There are four, one near each corner.

 

Hey ive had the same issue.
This is how i cleaned the back sunroof drain holes
i took a new bike brake cable so its end wont have split ends.
i took the interior trunk walls off and i reached the drain tube.
i poked a little hole in the upper side so i could insert the cable and then i kept pushing the cable in until it got out through the upper drain hole. I kept pushing and pulling until i cleared all the dirt, and then i removed the cable.
used superglue to seal the puncture.
i did it this way beacuse the tube is too long and i had to skip the curves
so the bike cable can slide in.

DONT use oils so the dirt wont stick to it
hope it helps
