Wet cargo floor 2007 Suburban - 2/19/2008 8:21:42 AM    kschatta   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/19/2008 Status: offline I have a 07 Suburban with a soaking wet carpet in the rear cargo area. It seems that every time its wet outside water is coming in from somewhere and has soaked the carpet and insulation. It's been to the dealer 3 times already and they have changed the weather stripping on the back gate, but the water still comes in. It wasn't too bad in the summer, I was able to clean it up when I first noticed it but now it's a block of ice. Any Ideas? Post #: 1

Next time I have it in a warm place I'll funnel some water down the drain to see where it comes out or if it leaks. Thanks (in reply to ZX1100F1) Post #: 3
