Problem overview

Some Chrysler Sebring owners report experiencing water leaks on the front driver side, leading to wet carpet and a mildew smell. Common issues include voids in body seam areas that allow water to seep onto the driver side floor, contributing to the musty odor. Additionally, a cracked window wiper blade may fail to clear water effectively, resulting in drips onto the door panel or dashboard. Clogged holes around windows can also permit water to enter the body cavity, causing overflow into the cabin. Furthermore, debris accumulation in the windshield cowl drain can block the drainage system, leading to water overflow and interior damage. To prevent these issues, owners are advised to regularly inspect and maintain the windshield cowl drain, check for cracked wiper blades, and clear any obstructions that could lead to water leaks.
