Do all 1992 to 1999 bonnevilles have water leaking problems?

I did have a leak where the front passenger door'* weather stripping had come loose from the b-pillar and carwash pressure hit it. Easy enought to fix.
Other than that, I have a little bit of staining near sunroof drains. I rarely notice it, and have never seen it wet myself. Maybe it was a problem the previous owner fixed, but I didn't notice the staining till I had the car for 2 1/2 years.

Interesting thread...
I've never had a water leaking issue in my 99. And when I had my 93, never had one issue with that either. I'm with Dame...my only water leaking issue is from people who have left the windows down in a rain storm.
I will say that my 87 was TERRIBLE!! It leaked water terribly around the windshield and all the windows leaked!

I spent yesterday afternoon trying get the mildewy smell out of my trunk. I guess maybe I'll attempt to fix the passenger door moldin, since I get puddles there too, and it sounds easy. But in short, yes it'* a leaky mo fo. I still love it though.

I've NEVER had a leak in my bonneville. Now the rear left window has some wind noise (which is irritating) but no leaks. Even with my windshield cracked and damaged, it'* still not leaking!

My 90 is bone dry. Not a bit of evidence of a leak. I like the way the doors actually close under the roof.
