Every time it rains, the floor behind the drivers seat gets wet. I am afraid of this causing rust or Black Mold in my car. The drainage tubes have been cleaned out before by the previous owner, because they had the same problem. After they had the drainage tubes unclogged they had no other problems. But now, I am having the same problem. I have seen all over the BMW forums that this is a very common problem. Especially the car with the jewel or panoramic sunroofs. The sunroof I will be making a separate complaint about. It always misaligns and the back window pops up and will never close properly. So I cannot use my sunroof at all!

Back to the drainage hoses.... I want BMW to replace mine so that we can hopefully get this taken care of permanently. BMW is suppose to be a premium car that is suppose to last a long time. If BMW still wants that reputation then they need to take care of the issues that say 1,000 people are all having the same problem.
