Check your 2007 for water leaks after it rains

Everyone should check their cars for water leaks after a carwash or rain. Lift the floor-mats and feel for water. Check if the carpet is wet or damp. Check carefully because there might be very little moisture. I would check cars with and without sunroofs. Better safe than sorry?

Rained several times since having Minibird, and one of them was one of the hardest rains I've ever driven in, no leaks at all. And I have the sunroof.

And the auto-sensing wipers are KILLER!!

Washington State. Lots of rain since March. Lots od car washes. No leaks up front of in the boot. I'm even suprised how dry the engine bay stays with the gaps around the headlights and bonnet edges. I would have expected more crud to get in there... but no.

Good here, even with the sunroof and some rain. I mean, have you guys seen the floods down in Texas?
