One possible source of water on the passenger side floor; Had the Aurora out this morning in what can best be described as a "gully washer"!!! Got back home and was going to vacuum the interior. Pulled the rear pass side mat out and the floor was soaked there and under the front pass seat. After a little investigation found the bottom of the front pass door trim was also soaked. So I removed the door panel(broke the plastic piece across the top of the panel in the process) and found that the plastic liner was no longer stuck to the door allowing water to get inside. The butyl wouldn't stick to the metal, so I cleaned it good and got it to stick. Will put the panel back on once the glue job on the plastic trim is dry. Plastic piece I broke The bottom of the door panel that was wet Where the leak originated. You can see where the water has pooled in the past before draining out the weep hole.

I cleaned the doors' painted surface with goo-gone and then with isophoral alcohol. Was careful not to get any stuff on the butyl on the plastic as it was still sticky. Once the paint surface was clean, I was able to get the plastic to stick to the door.

Eventually had this problem reoccur. I bought some windshield butyl in a roll to add in the spots that wouldn't stick anymore.
