I have a 2002 Chrysler 300M. Just noticed that the driver's side floorboard is soaked. NOT just wet, but soaked! Noticed that the floormat was a darker color and found it to be soaked through. Pulled it out and the carpet is completely saturated. Don't know where the water would be coming from? I check under the dash, the door seals, I don't have a sunroof, and couldn't imagine it came up from the bottom. Got a rain last night and also went through the carwash yesterday. But my legs would have gotten wet if it came from under the dash during car wash? And I'd notice the doors or windsheild leeking as I've driven in the rain before? I'm at a total loss. Every hear of a thing? I'm not excited about taking it to the dealer to be charged an arm and a leg but don't know what it could be?

Thanks

I am investigating mine as we speak. I have a 2002 300M and water on the Drivers Floor board.

I have found a missing weather seal in the lower sub-frame area on the driver side. Follow the Exhaust back and you should see it. It is a square shape and is held on by TAR. This is relatively close to the aft side of the Wheel well. I believe this is where the Water is coming from. I have a blower in the carpet now and will be drying it for many hours. This is the result of a CAR WASH under Washing. This is when I first noticed mine. My wife then drove the car in a heavy Rainstorm and the Wet Carpet is back. I Believe that the original issue is with the Car Wash. I found the original seal and re-installed it and placed aluminum tape over this seal. I will see if I still get any more water inside the Drivers side area.

You will have to give me more information on this.

Thanks Jeff. I'll check it out. I was certain it had to be something like that because it has to be coming from below or I'd have noticed it before. Took me 3 days with a fan blowing to completely dry out my carpet. I'll look this weekend to see if it's the same seal you found. Did you just go to local parts counter to find replacement?

Please view this link of the repair that I accomplished on my 300M to fix the issue.

Don't forget to give me a 5 star rating on the video. Thanks.

Jeff / Brian, I have the same wet driver's floorboard problem with my '02 300m.

Did this seal fix solve your problems??
