Another Dodge Neon Water Intrusion Q. I just read an article you answered about Dodge Neons and water leaks into the interior. Well I am an auto-rebuilder and I have been having the same problem lately with a 1996 Dodge Neon with 59,000 miles. I have also had 1998 Dodge Dakota that also had a mysterious water leak, and it is not just a drip from the seals, it is a ½" to 1" puddle in the rear floorboards on the Dodge Neon and the passenger side of the Dodge Dakota.

I believe it must be coming in from the floor/frame pillars somehow. I would appreciate any info you have gathered on this subject.

Thank you for your time,
Jason
