"The floorboards suddenly were so wet they splashed! Started about 18 months ago & Ive had it in & out of the shop several times with no success. The leak seems to come from the upper trim between the drivers window and the windshield, at the joint (where the fabric ends, then begins up to the windshield) & from the pedal compartment. It causes foggy, dripping, windows that take effort & time to see through enough to drive. Causes a strong musty smell and ruins whatever shoes Im wearing unless I hold my feet up or stack towels on the floorboard. Again, checked out multiple times and zero improvement."
