Buick Skylark water accumulation on front floorboards after rain on Buick Skylark

Problem overview

Some Buick Skylark owners report experiencing water accumulation on the front floorboards after rain due to several potential issues. These include leaking door seals, which can allow water to seep into the vehicle, and clogged sunroof drains that may lead to water leaking into the passenger area. Additionally, poor adhesion of the vent grille assembly to the windshield can cause water to overflow into the front floor area. Some owners also find that decaying leaves can clog drainage holes, resulting in water spilling over into the floorboards. Regular maintenance checks, including inspections of door seals, sunroof drains, and the vent grille assembly, are recommended to prevent these water leakage issues. Moreover, diagnostic testing in specific areas like the driver side air inlet panel, windshield, and A-pillar can help identify the source of the leak and facilitate necessary repairs.
