    There's either a seam or seal leaking somewhere in my latitude. I've got standing water in the floor pan on the rear passenger side. Has anyone seen this specifically in the Renegade? I had this happen with a beetle once and it was a big ordeal locating. I'd love to hit the dealer with suggestions when I drop it off...

    I had water leaking into my rear driver side door. I had to go back several times. They replaced a speaker because it wasn't sealed properly and then they needed to order parts. Since then so far so good.

    I'm not sure if it was on the ToasterJeep forum but I remember reading about incorrectly installed door seals allowing water in both the doors and floor pans. This could be a possible lead.

    Thanks... On my bug, it was improperly sealed when they coated he floor pan at the factory. Needless to say, this was seriously difficult to nail down. I'm going to do a good investigation before I take it in... I'll post findings.

    I found some of the sealant poorly adhered under the area where there's wetness. Also, there's an inspection plug there. When I pulled it there was some wetness there. I haven't taken it in yet, but now that I'm sure of a material problem, I'll be scheduling it.
