Flooded Floor!!

Does anyone here have or had a problem when it rains and there's a puddle of water on the floor of your car. I've searched around to see where the water is comming in from and apparently it's comming from right under the dash of my pasenger side. I know it's not from my top cuz there's no sign of water or anything like that, not only that, my seats are dry.. I have a 1984 VW Convertible Rabbit... Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Sit in the car with a flashlight while a friend sprays the whole front of the car with a water hose. You might have luck doing that. Thats how I find water leaks at work.
good luck,

Check inside the drivers side fender well where the radio antenna goes into the car. Usually, RTV silicone will seal this. You didn't mention which floorboard, so I am only presuming.

My mistake, I misread your post. You said the passenger side. I would say to check your seals and gaskets. I don't know on the '84 where the antenna enters the car. On my '81 pickup it's on the drivers side, and that is a weak spot. Best of luck.
