Water leaking in by passenger side!!!!!!
Most likely the sunroof drains are clogged. It happened to mine (and my friend who has the same car), the
floormats and floors were soaked, especially behind the drivers side.
Volvo wanted to charge me $550 to clear them out and dry out the floors.
Instead I took it home, rolled down the windows, parked it in the sun
and let it dry out. Then I found a mechanic who blew out the drains with
compressed air for only $20. He had originally quoted me $50-100, but
ended up doing it for less. He said the two back drains were clogged. You
can try sticking a small flexible wire down the front two yourself,
then pour water down to see if it drains properly out the bottom of the
car. When I looked I didn't see the two back sunroof drains (they are smaller), but my
mechanic said they were clogged with leaves, you might be able to clear
these yourself too. I would have never guessed that it was the sunroof
causing this, because you don't see the water leak around the sunroof,
you only see the water backing up on the floor. It has to do with the way the sunroof drains drain down the side panels of your car. Don't take it to the
dealership, it's a simple job and they will rip you off.
