(UPDATED) HUGE RAIN WATER LEAK. Need help ASAP
So to start this off, my 2001 Explorer 5.0 AWD Limited has a roof rack and moonroof.
It's been dumping rain here in Seattle the last few days, even more than normal.
I open the rear hatch to find this:
I see water all over the rear fender interior panel as you can see. "***" I said. I feel the hatch floor carpet and it's all wet. Dammit. I open the drivers rear cargo panel/door (where the air ride switch/floor jack is located) to look inside there and I also see water in there.
I try to feel where else the car is wet to see where the leak is coming from, and I notice the entire headliner where my hand is is SOAKED.
Under where my hand is, it's very wet and waterlogged, and its spreading through the headrest through soaking. So much so that it just now started dripping everywhere. So this is probably has been going on for a while but the large amounts of rain showed its true colors.
I notice that the area (where my hand is tucked in photo number 2) is soaked in water all the way up the rear passenger door on drivers side.
My front drivers door area seems to be dry under the same area. So the water starts to soak from the rear door all the way back to the hatch. Obviously coming from the top/roof of the car somewhere but I have no idea where to start or what to look for.
HELP?! I'm low on money and I'm pretty depressed about this and this is the last thing I needed.
Where should I start and what should I look for/narrow down? It's still pouring rain with no covered parking so I can't really dig deep til it stops.
