Each time, we couldn't find a leak.

Each time, the customer would return and tell us about his leak. After quizzing the customer, I learned that he parked in a downwards slope in his driveway.

When I jacked the car up and tried to duplicate the angle the car sat while in his driveway, guess what, the inside of the trunk got wet.

Anyway, take Porschett's advice and try the same thing. Try hard enough and you'll find it.

PS. One more trick to make sure the windshield isn't leaking....

Spray foam glass cleaner on the outside of the windshield. Take a air hose with an air nozzle and spray air on the inside of the windshield. If the windshield isn't sealed correctly, you'll blow the foam all over the place.

I had to tell this one. A woman came in complaining she had water all over the floor of her new car. We tried and tried to make it leak, but no luck. On her fourth visit about the same problem, I decided to ask her some questions about when and where it was parked when she noticed the water leak. After 15 minutes, she looked at me and said, "Would leaving the driver's window down at night possibly be ausing the leak?"
