Default New Experience - Leak in C pillar area

We had heavy rains on Friday, while driving through the large puddles/ponds on the roads, the pig developed a leak in the C pillar area, right where the side curtain airbag is. Anybody else had this phenomenon? Seemed to come from the water splashing up, over and under the vehicle.

I have found that the doors on these cars need to be adjusted on a regular basis.

I think you may have water entering around the door area at the top.

Interesting that the doors need to be adjusted frequently...

I had mine adjusted due to wind noise and the driver's side door not latching properly. It seems fine now. Mine never leaked, but I can see how that might be possible.

I had mine adjusted for wind noise and they are now closing clunkily. I think I'm due for another adjustment.

That's a new ailment to me. Anyone know of a good Porsche chiropractor? Can't get it to do it again (sound like the dealer?) with a hose or the car wash, so I am going to chalk it up to the "100 Year Storm" phenomenon. The puddles were huge, and I was driving fast. Won't do that again. No fun not being able to see for a second because the water comes right over the front end.

Do you have a sunroof or panoramic roof??? I have seen the drain tubes come off of a pano roof once.

I have it dripping in through the ceiling handgrip on the pass side.

I was thinking it was the roof rails.
