  2. Road test or water test the vehicle.
  3. Inspect for a dust pattern around the area in question. Inspect for water paths near and above the area in question.
  4. Some leaks can be located by placing a bright light under the vehicle, removing any necessary trim or carpet, and inspecting the interior of the body at joints and weld lines.
