Water soak the back right passenger floor
 
Dear ALL, HELP ! HELP

Parking my 2005 S type in parking lot for days during the rain. I just found that the floor is soaking wet in back right side of passenger floor. 3 towers can't get all water out. Check the door is dry, window is dry inside. other floors are OK. Seat is dry. I won't know much about car. I drave home 40 minutes on Turnpike safely home before I know the problem. I need your help !!!!
1. If I can drive the car safely , Will the water will do more damage ? It is still raining. the floor filled with water again after I dried .
2. Since I won't know how to fix it myself via the advice in this helpful forum. I need find someone to do it. WHO shall I go to? a auto repair shop or Auto glass for water leaking repair?
3. I live in North Brunswick, NJ with Zip code 08902. Please refer me a good honest mechinican , it is much appreciated.

Thanks so much for your time

Your right rear moonroof drain is clogged. The headliner needs to come down on that side, the drain hose must be pulled from its nozzle, and an air compressor must be used to blow out the debris. Search the forum using "clearing clogged moonroof drains". You'll find specific instructions on how to do this. No issues driving the car....

agreed with Jon... Also - pls follow this tread:

If you seat belts are not damp - it could be leaking windshield or door seal...
I just went thru checking/unclogging the sunroof - today is raining and will see if this fixed my problem..

More than likely the sunroof drains but be aware the rubber door seal can also let water in, in gathers at the bottom of the door in heavy rain and flows over the seal, the is a tsb to fix issue.
