Water in the car
I drove my ragtop to work yesterday in a (for So Cal) horrendous rainstorm.
When I got home I discovered water, not a whole lot, maybe a cup, in the car. Now, I would not be surprised to find it on my side since I probably tracked some in, but there was also abot acups worthonthepassenger side, too, and there were no passengers. I can't figure out how water got in there as hte windows were rolled up, the doors solidly closed and the car has all new seals and no rust holes. The car is so tight I have to crack the window open to close the doors. So, where could water enter?? --Dan E |

Hope this helps Mario |

>a >high pressure at 55mph and or make sure your drain tubes for your rag top are >clean< Yeah, i replaced the pan gasket, but who knows, maybe there is a little gap somewhere allowing a bit of water to squeeze through? As for the rag drains, I don't even recall seeing any tubes when I installed the headliner or even any drain holes. Guess I better look a little closer. --Dan E |
