I had this exact same problem when ever it rained with our 1999 Range Rover.
Even the spare tire area in the back filled up but didn't know it until I got a flat tire.
Two things were wrong.
The sunroof leaked and we didn't know it. Also the seal all around the frontwindshield was not sealed tight but didn't know as neither of these were obvious. We ended up using "duct tape all over the roof around the sunroof and I meen a lot of tape! It looked bad from the sky, however stopped leaking 100% Dont use the sunroof if you have one until summer, remove wet tape periodically and inspect. Hope this helps! :)

Rear Passenger Floor of 2009 Lincoln Town car is wet. Dried it and didn't have rain or use the car. Two days later it is soaked again.

If the car has a rear heater, maybe the matrix is leaking... If the car has a sliding sunroof it might be a displaced drain causing the problem. Such sunroofs can store a significant amount of rainwater in the gutters unless the car is perfectly level.

The floor on the passenger side is soaking afte it rains

1: heater core leaks. (green water)
2: A/C condensate tray drain plugged.
3: or its rain water, if rain water, the windshield cracked?

Fix leaking on passenger floror

After a heavy rain, I noticed about 2 inches of water on the rear passenger floorboards of my '02 Signature TC. The front was also soaked.

Try this link at Edmunds' forum - http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f147dda/0 - it discusses various leaks the town car has. A little way into the thread, it specifically discusses the leak on the passenger side. My leak was coming in through the foam gasket under the HVAC (air vent assembly). After reading the entire thread, I concluded my problem could be fixed by following Ralka's instructions on page three, reply #25. The whole repair took just over an hour - I'm not a mechanic, so if you're mechanically inclined, it would probably take less time. It fixed the problem.

PS - I also had to replace two plastic, rectangular cowl retainer clips (with plastic screws), they're made by Dorman (the 41099 cowl retainer fit perfectly, in spite of a link they have that says it's not made for the TC). If you also need to replace the clips, you can get them here - http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/?searchType=global&Ntt=cowel+retainer&N=0&submit=Submit+Query.

Good luck.

Water leak after rain, rear floorboards soaked? HELP!

a couple things to look at if it has a sunroof the sun roof would have drain hoses that run down in each corner next you need to look at the cowl this is the section in front of the windshield that has a drain on it as well if you find nothing there the next step would be to remove the seats and carpet and sit in the car while running water over it either way you should remove the carpet and make sure it is dry all the way threw or mold will start to grow and you will never get ride of it not good for your heath other key spots to look at is if the windshield was ever replaced it could be a poor seal

Floorboard on driver side completely soaked after it rains

If you remove the door rails at the bottom of the doors you'll be able to lift the carpet and visually look for some small drain plug devices. It sounds like one or more of them is missing or that you have lost a seal in the door or window.

2002 Galant, floorboard on driver side completely soaked

try having an assistant 'water'' your car with a garden hose while you're in it.especially check seals at windshield & doors.it could take a few minutes of ''watering'' before a leak shows up.

Floorboards are wet,front and back

The tubing under the dash that comes from the air condition may be stopped up...there may be leafs or trash stopping up hole along the wind shield (Miada convertable problem) if this is the problem flush out the tubes...or your wind shield may be leaking ('87 chevy problem) if it is the windshield try cleaning around and resealing...Mine stopped when I had to have new windshields put in...

Water leak

sounds like you have a window seal leak.  The only other way water will leak into the car is a leaky heater core or a clogged A/C drain.  Do you have a sun roof that could be leaking?  As they have drains too.
