Water accumulation in a convertible is often related to:
* Convertible Top Drain Tubes: The convertible top has drain tubes that run from the top mechanism to channels underneath the car. If these become clogged with debris (leaves, dirt), water will back up and potentially enter the car through seams or gaps. These are more likely culprits than a single, easily identifiable plug.
* Sunroof Drains (if equipped): If your Sebring has a sunroof, its drain tubes can also clog and cause water to accumulate.
* Weatherstripping: Worn or damaged weatherstripping around the convertible top, doors, or windows can let water seep in.
* Body Seam Leaks: Over time, seals and body seams can fail, allowing water to enter. This is often more noticeable in heavier rainfall.
Therefore, there's no one "plug" to check. Instead, you'll need to systematically investigate the potential water entry points mentioned above. Look for:
* Evidence of water stains: This can help pinpoint where the water is entering.
* Clogged drain tubes: Check under the car for the drain tubes and try to clear any obstructions.
* Damaged weatherstripping: Inspect all seals for cracks or damage.
A professional mechanic experienced with convertibles will have the best chance of diagnosing the precise cause of the leak. They are familiar with the common weak points and drainage systems in these vehicles.
