One last suggestion on testing for leaks. START AT THE BOTTOM! Then work your way up slowly. Give it time to start appearing so don't get in a hurry. By doing that you'll absolutely isolate the area i.e. below a certain point. Then you can quickly zero in on the culprit.

Very interesting my 05 is in the the service center now because everytime it rained my floor was saturated with water on the drivers side. I was thinking that it probably was a sunroof drain problem. Looks like it probably is. I hope they get it resolved soon because I've been driving a caddilac deville thay gave me as a loaner and I'm tired of it. And it's only been 2 days, but hey my Hummer is like nothing else.

No...as a matter of fact some of their TSBs stipulate to use Permatex adhesive/sealer.

VTSTOMPER...the only drains that run through that pillar is the sunroof drain. If everything else is dry above the dashboard I would suspicion a leak in the drain below the dash. I'll research further & if I find something useful I'll post. Sorry guy.

It's probably trolls. Does the fluid from the leaks taste like troll urine?  |

I need your help guys!
It's been raining like mad here, and the H2 SUT is leaking in the front ( I assume) It sounded like water sloshing back in forth through the passenger rocker panel, so I took off the step guards (on the inside of the cab seal, just below the kick panel) and it was full of water. I cleaned it all out, but I am sure it will come back unless I find the source. I NEED your help; anyone else found this on a wagon or sut let me know!!!

I took my truck in this morning to have the pad replaced and the carpet cleaned. They are going to look at the floor when the carpet is out to see if there is any other sign of leakage there. After reading your posts I am going to ask them to seal the door grommet for good measure. I’ll be puddle hunting soon.

thank you guys...it's pouring now...so I have been looking at everything.
Water seems to be pouring out of the frame work that was under the kick panel. I removed the A piller cover, and it was dry under it. I assume that large hose under that is the sunroof drain hose, or one of.
The wires coming from there look to be dry...but when you remove your kick panel there are two slots with a round hole in the middle that hold the panel in place...water is coming from the hole in the middle.

If those door grommet seals are not tightly
sealed it will pour water in. Take a good look at that, especially if the leak started after someone was messing with it for some reason, (running wires, etc..)

Well of course there's always the possibility of a windshield leak. Water can do strange things and many times it ends up in a place totally unrelated. From the roof down the only things I can think of is the clearance lights and the sunroof drains. There has been an ongoing problem with the sunroof drains kinking, even on the '05s. If that's it, for it to show up inside the kick panel it would almost have to be just below the A Pillar where the drain turns. The only other thing you might check is the rubber grommets between the body and the front of the doors. There's been reports of leaks at the door defroster & wiring grommets.

still leaking.
So, I am looking at the inside of the door frame now. The two bolts that are attached to the door stop hardware (just above the wiring gromet) Seemed loose...so I tightened them down a bit.
I then ran the hose for about 1hr on top of the roof. The water was only going though the channel at the top, and not hitting the sunroof at all as I did in the other tests. It did leak, but not nearly as much. I then took off the door gromet on the Hummer side, not the door, and filled the inner lip with RTV, put it back on and sealed around that with RTV. For extra measure, I put RTV around the bracket I tightened in the first place. Now to let it set, and I will try it all over again.
