Well I tried

For those with Safari windows, one way to rule out if the water on the floors is coming from the windows and/or the associated drains is to use radiator UV dye and a UV flashlight.

Mix it with a couple gallons and let it flow…



The UV dye can also usually be bought at local auto parts stores.
seems a tad bit elaborate. how about just going around them with rubber tape, and blasting it with a hose, then do the same without the tape?

From my understanding that’s the current process, but when you have a small seep/leak it takes time for the water to migrate if it’s coming from the Safari drain tubes (unless of course a tube has separated from a connector), so sometimes there’s still a question when it’s wet outside and also running the A/C during the summer: what is the source of the small amount of pooling water in the floor boards coming from? UV dyed water poured around the Safari Window drains can help determine that.

One could also just pour a small amount of the UV dye concentrate directly into the Safari drain tubes, and any water that runs through the drains will pick it up and when hit with the UV flashlight will brightly glow wherever it ends up coming out.

I won’t have my car for another week so I can’t say for sure, but is it possible to just take off the interior panels and use the car and wait to see exactly where the water comes from?
