Water on floor of vehicle after rainfall

Racks or the windscreen as mentioned above seem like the obvious answer. I'd pull back the carpet and then run the hose around the windscreen and also roof rack mounts to try and nail down where the water is coming from. Did you notice if any of the seat belts were wet too, as the mounts are normally above the seat belts, which get wet first before trickling down.

I would like to remove the roof rack. Can you either explain how to do that OR can you point me to a video? Thanks.

When we had a 3 Rhino Sportz roof racks fitted when we bought a used 120 about 5 years ago the Toyota dealer fitted them as part of the deal ,
It rained pretty heavy in the first week of us owning it and we noticed the front seat belts felt cold , and on inspection we discovered they were wet , and the carpet on the floor directly below the seat belts was also wet ,
I took off the clip-on frame lining and it was very wet ,i left linings off and went back to dealer and they removed all racks with the special "T" spanner , which exposes the roof mounting screws , cleaned roof channels and found the front rack mounting screws didn't have correct plugs(a couple of green ones) so correct ones got fitted ,
when I got car home I removed the racks and put some Sikaflex roof and gutter over the screw holes and plugs then replaced the racks , and left the linings off the inside for a week and dried the carpet out with a heat gun , next time it rained I checked no more leaks and none in the last 5 years , cheers john

Thank you. It is hard to find because it is under "GXL" and not 120.

I'd just run the hose around the mounts first before pulling it all apart to see if they are the culprit, or if its coming from elsewhere.

Understand this post is old, but I’ll add to it, so I can get some help. Starting to get leaks on the 120 series Grand, 2004 model, have owned since new and hence know the history. It has never had the roof rails replaced or anything else. The floor on the passenger side is wet. The drain tubes have been cleaned. But I’m still getting a wet floor and yesterday there was water dripping from the left side of the passenger sun visor. I’m at the point where I just want black silicone seal the sunroof forever and disconnect the electrics. Last point, the windscreen is cracked on the bottom on the passenger side, so will get that replaced under insurance, I have been told that if the windscreen repairer sees any issue with the frame, he wont re-install and I’ll take the car to a smash repairer to look at any corrosion. I’ve now got a 300 series, but have kept the 120 series as it’s such a reliable car, much more reliable than the LC300 series. As the post and string is old and I have a reluctance in creating new posts on same subject hopefully someone replies.
