Does anyone know of a place that can find and fix water leaks on vehicles? I don’t know what kind of work that would be, a body shop maybe? I drive an 09 Sierra and have a leak in two spots when it rains, one right under the driver floorboard and I just found a second in the very top left corner in the backseat. TIA

Does not have a sunroof

Have you tried restarting it?

Wait for the pressure to equalize before you try to roll the windows down.. once it fills up, you should be able to get the windows down and swim to safety


Hope this helps

It's the drain plug up on the roof. Trust me.

It gets clogged and runs down into the floorboard.

you need to reconnoiter the rim. That will fix it right up.

Yeah. To start off, you're gonna need some ball bearings....

I fitted gutters to my f150 when I had one.

Now I have a yota and there are no leaks

sounds like your truck is low on blinker fluid.

Blinker fluid is overfilled. Need to stick a bendy straw in the reservoir and siphon some fluid out.

As noted above the roof drain. Also check the rubber on the third brake light. They are known on those trucks to leak. My neighbor had the same problem.

This...you can typically clean them out by running trimmer line through the drain hose...but be careful not to puncture the drain line. If you try to use compressed air, blow from the bottom of the drain up to the top.

I have an 07 Silverdaro. The rear leak was coming from the brake light on the roof. A small bead of silicone, and it worked. I hid also have the driver floor board get water, but I sold it not long after, so i never did find out where it was coming from. My mechanic said it was more body shop work.

the gasket seals on antenna and the high brake light are worn out. I have a sierra 09 also. They used the same cheap garbage seals for many year models. They all eventually have same leak.

I also used silicone on mine. If you don't mind a little work and buying new seals, they're pretty easy jobs and there are youtube videos.

This, GM third brake lights are pretty famous for it.
