I'm bringing this back to life again to see if anyone has had any new experiences. It's been raining everyday here in San Antonio, Tx for the past 2 months and my drivers side floor board is now soaked. First it was my passenger side floor board and after a lot of caulking and crap I finally slowed the leak down on that side but it's still managing to come through. Any advice guys? If you go to autoconsumer guide and look at the common problems with the lancers you will see 3 water leaks. Apparently Mitsubishi isn't too concerned about water getting into the car. I guess thats how they are in Japan.

Dude it's really not that easy. There are so many seams on the firewall and one could be broken. Also if it's coming from behind the dash you probably have to pull the dash out to find the leak. I got about half way into the project and realized how much work it would actually take. Water leaks aren't easy to find at all and if anyone has some clue of where their problem was it could help. Also does anyone know specifically where the ac drain hose is?

Maybe my trunk is leaking too. When I pulled my rear seats out awhile back there was some moisture in there. Not sure where from though. These lancers are crazy.
