Thread necro!

Butyl patch affects the passenger side.



After a few days of flooding, heavy rain, Herman has a soaked driver's side carpet, squishy wet in front, and damp in the back. Firewall and the carpet foam are dry above foot level, but I soaked out half a gallon of water from the floor under the carpet.
I currently have the carpet propped up, and a big fan angled down toward it. Between that and the now dry outside air, I'm hoping to have it dry by dark... or at least less damp.

I do suspect the sunroof, as I know it has a small leak. I've been relying on the drain to keep bad things from happening, as I'm not sure the car is worth what a sunroof repair would cost. I've done some wrenching, but I'm no mechanic.
There is a wear spot with a tear on the lower weatherstrip, too. I'm not sure whether that would be enough to cause the amount of water I found, but I'm pretty sure I can handle replacing that just fine.
I'll try some weed whacker line to check the sunroof drain, too.

No more sunroofs for me.

 

 

I suppose. I'm just venting some frustration. I still have a list of things I need to do, and this just adds to it.

Nature of the beast, I suppose.
