which drain?? sunroof? wheelwells? This is a common problem, with a VERY easy fix... The reason this is happening is simple.... Chrysler's water drainage for Sebring ragtops is kinda weird. When your top is up, any water that hits the top of your car is routed - get this - through the quarterpanels... The water comes off the roof (in the rear) and goes through the quarters and thru a drain hole that is tiny-tiny-tiny... The drain hole is about as wide as a letter opener and, if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it was there. On the underside of the vehicle on both the passenger and drivers side you'll see a rail that runs from the front to the rear of the car. There is a VERY small gap in this rail and that's where the water drains. To find yours, get someone to help you out - and get the water hose ready. Turn the water on VERY light and water your top. Turn the water off and check the underside of your car. Chances are that BOTH sides aren't clogged, so find where the water is coming from and then look in the same spot on the other side of the car to locate your clog. I use a letter opener to 'unclog' my drain and I do this religiously... If, after a rain, you can hear what sounds like a fishtank full of water slossing, you've got a clog. Any dirt, dust, pollen - small leaves - ANYTHING that is on the top that goes thru this drain system can clog it up. Simply unclog it using the above mentioned procedure will keep your insides dry. When this happened to me the first time, I thought I had left my window partially down or my door partially opened... From that point on, I made sure I kept my windows up and door closed... Then it happened again... When I moved my car (my driveway is partially slanted) I noticed water coming from underneath my car.... I made sure that this drain was fully flowing - and checked the other side - only to drain out what looked to be 10 gallons of water. So.... give this a try - and when you get this fixed - be sure to Pay It Forward.... Tom Pay It Forward
