- Finding and Fixing an Interior Water Leak in a 2018 Nissan Versa.
I was at the carwash and water started pouring in the passenger side floor, behind the glovebox. Also if you can hear water sloshing in your dash area when you make turns, this vid will show you why and how to fix it.
DIY! Save some damn $!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We were about to take my daughter's car to the dealership for answers. Every rainy day she had wet carpets. Your steps were clear, accurate, and easy. Huge globs of mud and debris right where you said they would be. I have a feeling the cabin filter will have to be changed now. It's probably soaked but I don't know if water goes that way. Thanks again!
Dealer wanted TWELVE HUNDRED dollars to fix this issue!!! You are a lifesaver. Thank you!!
Glad to help! I can't believe how much the dealerships screw people!
I had heard somebody where I live say $400 seems to be standard for a local shop to do it. Crazy!
You saved me $166 diagnostic fee and who knows how much for repair at the dealership, not counting 2 days without having my car. Thank you sir for doing this video. ❤
That's awesome! Thanks for the view and comment!
This video is a godsend. I cleaned the drains about a year ago and was shocked by how much buildup was in there--almost 8 years' worth. Just took my car through the car wash and I noticed a little bit of water dripping through to the floorboards. SIGH. After I clean it again I need to find a way to cover the drains when I'm parked.
Much thanks to you man, wouldn't have even dreamed of looking for this in my friend's 2015 Versa that had the exact same issue. Saved us a ton of headache trying to locate the issue.
Glad to have helped! Thanks for the comment!
Your video saved me a lot of time & money. Everything went without a hitch and I didn´t even break any trim clips thanks to you informing us how they actually work. I took a wet vac to the passenger side floor carpets (front & back), parked the car in the sun with doors/windows open & should be all dried out before too long. Thank you so much for showing me what & how to do it. Versa Note SV 2016 here. 👍🏻
Hey thanks for the view and nice comment! Glad it worked out!
Man I cleaned out my drain house and it didn’t it again I was like cmon what is it then stumbled upon this gem! Will be doing this tomorrow thank you sir!
Just drill large holes at the bottom of the Crowl hull on both sides.. and never have the problem again!!
Great Video. This is definitely a design flaw. Having such small drain holes and also having them in such a hard to get to spots. We had this issue 3 years ago and a Nissan dealership fixed it and charged us $600. They had to replace the carpet since with all the water, mold was growing. They refused to do the work for free. We thought they should since many folks are complaining about this problem. We went to Nissan corporate customer service and they got the dealership to fix it for free. Every year since we keep getting the same issue since we park on a tree lined street. We learned how to fix it ourselves now but it still a hassle to get a wet carpet then trying to have time to work on the car. We brought special tool to pop off the clips. Google trim clip or fastener removers. We also bought a bunch of spares since they do break often. Bad engineering!
Thanks for the view and comment! Yea I ended up buying a carport. Such a dumb design for the drains. Good idea on the extra parts on-hand. Before the carport, I just tried to do mine couple times a year. Thanks again!
such a stupid design fail on the part of Nissan. my god...
You are a lifesaver!!! I did what you said and found water pooling up due to clogged drain !! Thanks!!!
Glad to have helped!
Thanks for the video I have the same problem with my Versa. I thought the A/C was leaking inside but noticed water standing in the cowl. Thanks again! 😊
@donnielepper7289 Glad my vid helped you! Such a terrible design 😆 Have a great day!
Came in handy October 2023. I'm still going to have to take a look beneath the carpet of the passenger seat, I worry there might be standing water because of this. At the very least it will stop getting worse.
Just had to come back and say thank yoooouuuuu! Every time it rained my floors would be flooded. I followed the instructions in this video and it has definitely worked. It’s rained very heavily about 3-5 times since I’ve tried this and my floors are still dry. You saved me money, stress, and time. ☺️☺️☺️ 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for the view and comment! I do appreciate it, I'm glad I helped you!
How did you end up draining all the water from the inside of the passenger side so it could dry completely? I’m scared mold is gonna form
@@sephoran3257 hi, there should be a drain plug under the car, it will look like a rubber stopper
A THOUSAND THANK YOUS FOR THIS VIDEO!!
Nissan wanted to charge me $1500 labor but I watched this video and did it myself in about 30 minutes.
I had a bit of a hard time finding that little drain hole, it's underneath a piece of plastic that just comes out. Not sure why that's even there.
We did this will my daughters car today, she had at least a 1.5 gallons of water in that *reservoir*. Thank you for the video. However we broke nearly every clip.
OME 10 clips to replace were $22.45, so, I just zip tied them with black UV zip ties. Same function.
@illanaisme dang, that's soo much water! Good job!
Super helpful video. I have a 2015 Versa Note with the exact same problem. The first time it happened, I stupidly took it to a dealership and they charged me $1100. I bought a Weathertech car cover for when it rained this past winter and did the repair today, following your very helpful steps. Cleared out a ton of junk. Expect I may have to do it more than once, but it should be good for a while. MANY, MANY THANKS!!
My wife has this exact year and model that did this today for the fordt time after a healthy rain storm. Going to do this fix tomorrow once the weather subsides. Will be sure to pickup some clips ahead of time. Thank you for the video!
Me and my bf have been racking out brains about this! Its gotten so bad I started getting mildew, we’re gonna do this this weekend as well as a mold and mildew treatment to my carpets. THANK YOU
Thank you for this. Very helpful and was very easy to complete. No more clogs drains. I appreciate you!!
Thank you, have a great day 🙏
Man !!!!! I want to thank you for making this video.. I have a 2017 versa and I didn’t know where that water was coming from.👍🏾
Hey thanks for the comment and view! Happy to have helped!
Ok, I have been trying to figure out where the heck water on the passenger side of my 2015 Altima is coming from! I have cleared the sunroof drain tubes already. Guessing this may be the culprit.
Hopefully, cuz it's easy! Hahaha. Thanks for the view and comment!
Thanks Brother
Ohhh So Special Nissan wanted to charge me $360’just to determine WHATS wrong
Going to Attempt This Probable FIX
Thank you so much for this video! Very detailed and extremely helpful. Had my car in the shop for a month last year and those lazy idiots couldn't find the problem! They even sent it to the dealer and they couldn't find it either! Now that it's rained a couple of times (rare for us here in California) my floor boards are all wet again! Cant wait to check these drains for clogs.
Thank you. I have 2016 altima and one trip to the mechanic didnt fix this. He unclogged a drain on the passenger side that fed from the sunroof. That didnt fix the problem so this right here im sure will be the fix
Hey dude I was going outside to look at my car same year and model as yours. I thought I was going to have to put a heater core in it for sure. I'm going to go look at it in a couple hours and hope it's this easy. Thank You and I'll comment back later to let all know the outcome. It's folks like you that save folks like us lots of $$$
Hope this works for you!
@@CaptianWiggles Heck Yeah. Had my coffee and breakfast out to the car took about 45 minutes since I broke a few clips and had to wait for Advance Auto to open. You're the man! My step son kept telling to wife it was the heater core and then I saw you're video and figured it's worth a shot. Man was there so much crap in there I could have used a shovel. Thanks BRO !!!! Now I'm thinking it's about Beer Thirty 🍺
This is great! This saved my day as the instructions for taking out the part is easy to follow.
Nice man, glad to hear that 👍 thanks for the comment, I really do appreciate it!
Thanks. I know what to do now.
Can confirm this is about the same for a 2014 Versa Note - took me maybe an hour - had some issues with the upper side sections on mine - they had metal clips that hooked underneath the pillar body panel - one broke, but it fit back with no issues and seems stable. I only broke 2 of the plastic clips on mine. It was impossible to fit my hand to reach the driver's side drain hole, so I used a garden hose sprayer and a shop-vac - the shop-vac extension barely even fit. Unfortunately, will probably have to do it again next year, as I park under a tree (still pondering solutions for that). Thank you for the video!
Having owned 4 Nissans and presently still own 2,
I’ve have decided because of their declining build quality, I will never spend another cent for a Nissan product.
It really is a shame at just how bad a car company they have become.
Exactly my problem, thank you for this video. Drain was clogged full of crap
Glad my vid helped. Mine was so full too, lol thanks for the view and comment
Woke up last wednesday, got in the car and noticed that my passenger floorboard was flooded. It's been raining hard here for a week. Sopped as much as possible out and thought, I must have left a window cracked. Next day, floorboard full of water. So, I called the local nissan dealership to make an appointment. His immediate and certain diagnosis - Need to replace he heater core. I told him there was no antifreez in the water that I sopped out by sponge. He said to bring it on in because you can't always see the antifreeze. My bs radar went off. But to be sure, I checked the coolant levels in the radiator and resevoir, both were fine.
Now I don't really trust that dealership, so, I started googling. Ran across this video. I have a 2018 Rogue but the clips are slightly different. When I looked at mine I was slightly intimidated about taking the wiper blades off and then the clips, but I kept watching this and decided to go for it. Took me about 10 minutes to have the blades off and the clips, lifted the cowl and cleaned a good bit of muck out of the trey. Another 5 minutes to reassemble. That was about 5 hours ago. Been raining pretty steady all day. So far, no more water.
Good Job buddy 👏 glad my vid inspired you to save some damn money! 👍
@@CaptianWiggles I wouldn’t have tried this myself, but you made the fix look very easy. Thank you so much.
I have a 2021 Nissan Versa. A month after getting it I had to take it into the dealership because after a heavy snow melting, my floor boards in the back seat were soaked. The dealership tested the seals and ended up replacing the AC drain line due to it being kinked straight off the line. Here 4 months later it's doing the same thing again on the back passenger side floor board.
This is probably the problem. There is also a drain for the floorboards if you crawl under the passenger side it should be easy to find. You might have water trapped under the carpet too. Thanks for the comment 👍 Good luck
Thank You for posting!!
Had the same issue on my 2014 VersaNote
Thanks for this video and instruction. Definitely nailed our Versa issue. Much love.
Thanks for the nice comment 👍 glad my vid helped you out!
This saved me a bunch of money and a trip to the dealership. Huge thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for the view and comment! I really appreciate it! Glad my vid helped you 👍
After the problem is fixed how do you drain the water out of the car. Where is the plug so the old musty water can drain??
Thank you
Thank You man. God bless you!
*Great video, Thanks! Very Helpful!*
Thank you for the comment, glad it helped you!
Thanks! Been driving and it sounded like an aquarium rocking water back and forth, yesterday pouring rain all day, today I start driving and it rained on the inside of my car under the glove box just like you showed.! ThankYOU so much! Looks like I know what I'm doing tonight😁😂 with over 14k views we can assume it's a thing with these! Do you have any transmission tips? Seems these are virtually impossible to fix tranny issues🙄
Glad my vid helped! Thanks for the view and comment! 😀
That is good to prevent water from coming in, but how do you drain the water already in the carpet?
@EdgarLindo Hi, you have to just let it air dry.
@EdgarLindo open the doors and it should dry pretty quickly, fans help. There should also be a little rubber plug under the car, in the floor pan. Bit unless you hear water under your carpet you won't need to worry about that.
Thank you. I just saved myself from taking this to the mechanic for the fourth time
Glad you dont have to spend anymore $!!! Thanks for the view and comment!
Thanks for the video! I knew it had to be those drains but I just knew I was going to have to take the dash or rear wells apart. LOL good to find out that's not the case and I will be tackling this tomorrow. Just seems like a flaw in design really, should be a better way to access and clean.
Agreed man, should have at least made the drain holes bigger. Thanks for the view and comment!
Perfect, this was my exact problem, thanks for the help!
Glad my vid helped! Thanks for the view and comment!
Helped with a nissan versa 2016 note, our driver side drainage was clogged
Other very likely aress for water to get are the rear light mounts. (The ones that push in) . The high brake lamp seal.
Thanks so much - have a 2017 Micra and the water issue was driving me nuts. Appreciate it!
✌️😎
worked on a 2017 versa today,cant say there is a drain hole on the drivers side of a 2018 versa but there is one on the 2017. So both sides of a 2017 does have drain holes and yes the water will back up inside your car like he mentioned and cause water damage if you don't resolve the problem. Thanks for your video if it wasn't for your video I still would be lost on trying to figure out where the water was coming from on my clients car.
Thank you for this great info. I have a Nissan 2017 and I’ve been wondering where the drainage for the rain water smelly water out of my car.
Had this problem with my 2016 nissan versa note. Just fixed it, but am curious what you or others have done to help dry the floor and prevent any kind of mold?
Good question. I left my doors open on a hot day, luckily mine flooded in dry season from a car wash. I would leave the doors open if you can, maybe add a fan/small heater if needed. Or use a shop vac and then a small fan or heater. Good luck man, and thanks for the view and question!
PERFECT video to find and fix this issue, thank you! and well done sir!
Big Thanks Fella! Saved me a bunch of time and money. I appreciate you.
Thanks for this! I'm going to try to this solo. What tool are you using to remove the trim clips? And what is the tool called to remove the 9/16th bolt?
@mkcPY Hi, I believe I used a flat screwdriver for the clips. I used a ratchet for the bolt. Thanks for the view! Good luck, just go slowly, it's very simple!
Good fix man. Learned a lot!
my 2018 versa sedan is soaked on both the passager and driver side back seat but the front is perfectly dry could this still be the issue or something else?? help!!
I love RUclips ☺️❤️
GREAT video! love your energy.
Thanks for sharing this info
Thank you so much!!!! ❤
So my car is having this exact issue except after a bit storm it was mostly all my floors. Majority passenger and back though. Are there any other issues that could lead to flooding in the car? I have a 2017 Nissan Versa.
Hi! From what you described, it sounds like this is your problem. I can't think of another way it could flood like that. Check the drains like in this video, if they aren't plugged up, I will try and help you 😉
Your video was so helpful for my 2014 Versa. Seems like there wasn’t much blocking the drain holes so it might be that the power wash at the automatic car wash was too strong for the drain holes to keep up with. I’m having trouble finding the right size trim clips. By any chance, do you know where I can find the exact part number or size?
Nissan dealership will have the exact clips you need.
Did this today on my 2015 Versa note. Hoping that was the actual problem and that it’s resolved for now. Anyone have ideas on how to get the musty/moldy smell out of the car? Been vacuuming the water out two days in a row and it’s still damp and smelly
Would this drain into the trunk as well? I am currently having this issue and can hear water sloshing under cabin car. Floorboard wet and was trunk full.
If you remove the carpet by unclipping the side guard things, you'll see that all that's under it is basically a metal tub held up by a Styrofoam block. That tub is where all that water is going.
Hi! Sorry I missed this question! I'm not sure if this would cause water in the trunk, that sounds like that might be a separate issue like trunk seals. But there is a drain under your car, under the passenger seat I believe. It is a rubber plug, thats how to get the water out from under the floorboards.
Really helped me a great deal
Does anyone know if filters need to be replaced or any other parts after flooding?
I have the exact same problem. There is water under front passenger seat. Just left my 2018 Versa in a Nissan service and its going to cost me $400 to remove the clog and dry the cabin :(
Thank you so very, very much! :0)
Thank you! What an easy fix!
Glad my vid helped you! Thanks for the view and comment!
This is the same problem I'm experiencing right now
Thanks bro 👍🙏
Thank you so much
You're welcome thanks for the view and comment
Thank you for this. It helped a lot. 👍
You forgot to plug the vent man
Wow i never thought it coulb be that also thnx kid imma ck it out
This is so annoying because it's something Nissan owners will need to do this every 4-6 months at minimum. With plastic parts being removed and replaced to do it, the liklihood of breaking or warping those parts increases every time you remove and replace them. How has Nissan failed to address this issue?
this a massive fuggup on the part of Nissan. such a stupid design fail.
thanks a lot bro
Your welcome man, thanks for the view and comment 👍
Thank you
my 2018 versa sedan is soaked on both the passager and driver side back seat but the front is perfectly dry could this still be the issue or something else?? help!!
Hi, that should be something else. Check the front first though, anythings possible... I would check the window seals on the back windows and also rear windshield. See if the trunk is wet under the spare would hold water if some got in there. If it's dry, the water came from a blocked front drain, or another source, like possibly the window seals. Hope that helps, if I can help more I will!
Wow. Thank you so much!
Thank you
