wet carpet in car · water dripping inside car after rain
Water gets into the cabin, showing up as a wet carpet, damp seats, or dripping from the headliner, usually noticed after rain or car washing.
Note exactly where the water appears first (footwell, seat, headliner) and whether it happens with rain, car washing, or both - this narrows down the entry point significantly.
Safe to drive, but address it promptly - trapped moisture can cause mold, electrical issues and rust if left unresolved.
Describe your situation more precisely (e.g. exactly when it gets worse, how long it lasts) and get an expanded, personalized breakdown.
