I have water entering the car. It has pooled under the thick foam under the drivers floorboard and is running into the back driver side. I noticed once I detected the odor of mold and noticed black mold growing in the rear floorboard. After last nights rain it has began pooling in the front below the brake pedal so I know it is a lot of water entering since the foam its self is thick. I feel moisture on the firewall near the foot rest but I am unable to tell further where it is coming from due to the fabric materials. I do not know how long this has been happening but it was recently I noticed the mold smell. I have checked the sunroof drains by pushing clothes line down them and they are clear of debris.
