Hi Haroon

I discovered puddles of water in my ute when i had the carpet out. I
was driving around when we were having all this rain and i notice a
collection of water around these rubber plugs on the floor.

I think these plugs go right through to the road. Mine were a bit
loose so i might have had water spray from the road and my tyres
coming through. I siliconed them up, problem solved.

I'd check those, maybe you are missing a plug entirely.
