Re: I have a leak!!!

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

Uh-oh... I think I'm replying to too many messages again... back to my
old bad habits... eh, but I'm being useful, I think : )
I would be it's leaking in through your driver's door. Maybe your vapor
barrier is broken (have you installed speakers in your doors and ripped
it apart?), and the drains in the bottom of your door are blocked up.
Maybe your weatherstripping has problems, or maybe your window seal is
broken. In any case, I would bet that the drain(s) in the bottom of your
driver's door are broken.
Other possibilities...
maybe it's leaking in through your rear 1/4 window? Check around it for
rust and bad rubber. I'm just thinking this because you mention that
your spare tire well got water in it, too...
You could also be leaking at your windshield... that's a common problem.
Check all the rubber. Basically, just walk around the car and check all
of the rubber gaskets, and look at the bottoms of your doors... are
there visible drains? If not, I'd drill some if I were you- they need to
be there!
    GL!
