    The C70 both coupe and convertible were a "one-off" design developed and built in conjuction with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) in England. As I understand it there have been issues with water leaks in some cars right from the factory. Way back when there was a Brickboarder here that managed to sell his C70 back as a lemon over all the issues he had with it.

    Do some searching here and on the internet. I bet you'll find some clues as to where the water is coming from.

    I had exactly the same problem with my S70 and it was the a/c condensation line being clogged. It's located under the car on the passenger side just about even with the firewall. Mine has leaves in it. Removed the leaves and got a face full of water.

    Problem fixed.

    Are you sure it is rain and not condenstation from the AC that is not flowing out of the drain tube?

    The easiest way to check for water leaks is to place papertowels up against the firewall area, behind the carpet and then spray the front of the car. Check repeatedly for dampness.

    Don't forget to check the forward drain holes of the sunroof, I use a measuring cup and pour about a cup of water in each of the holes slowly. You should see corresponding water coming out from under the car.

      I took the carpet up in the front and removed the pad. The pad had so much water in it that it had run down the driveway. The back pad has to come out. I ran the hose under the front of the car no water. I beleive it's comeing from the rear window. Pending...... thank you for your responces.

        OK, thank you for your responces. It's not ac condensation there's to much water for that. it starts from the back floor and moves to the front. It's about a gallon. I took the seats out and removed the back pads there's a gallon of water in that one. I need help now becuase I triggered the SRS light. I had one of the seats out and had to move the car. Any help on that also.I will post more findings soon thanks again...
