In the process of drying out carpet/matting
 
Here is a picture of how wet the underside of my carpet was on the drivers side. There are a few cracks in the metal which I'm guessing is where the water came in. I managed to suck out around a gallon or more of water from the underside of the carpet. I used an ordinary household upholstery cleaner rather than a shopvac, I wanted to be able to see if I was sucking water out or not. Still more there though that I'm airing out right now.

Also I ran into another issue with my heat control while fooling with my CD player. Here's what it looks like...

What the hell do those 3 lines mean?!

sad to say.. but the leaks are prolly not from the hole you found under the carpet... that would be a drain hole if anything

read this.. (yes the pictures are down)

are far as the HVAC, did you try disconnecting it and reconnecting? they are cheap if you want a new one

I got those three lines when i unplugged the climate control head unit from the HVAC programmer. Did you unplug anything you shouldn't have whlile working on the cd player?

Check out Jr's thread about leaks. He found about every leak that can occur on the cars. It's a long read..but worth it..he makes great discoveries all the way through

I think I got those when I blew a fuse on the radio. Check that?

I very well could have pulled another wire or something. I'll check the next time I look at the car. Today I don't think I'm going to. The whole issue has been rather stressful with having to rush stuff before the temperature drops and all that. I don't think going into the whole thing with a not so good attitude would be pretty. For now I'm going to take a break for a day or two and just relax then take care of the problems as best I can with the current weather and other issues.

Sometimes the take a breath and go back later is the best method. Being such a long thread..Jr's leak one might be a good read while taking that break to give you the possible places for leaks. Also there's sunroof, if equipped.
