Any other 242 owners - I've got a problem with water entering the driver's side rear fender -- ultimately causing rust at the bottom where the fender attaches to above the rocker panel. Any ideas how/where the water might be getting in? Not a problem on the passenger side, and with a hose, we're not able to replicate the problem; but leave it out in a driving rain, and that cavity at the bottom behind the interior panel will almost fill up with water. One thing I notice is that this window doesn't 'latch' as tightly when the lever/cam is pulled shut. I'm wondering if there's a missing seal of some sort on the two 'ears' on the leading edge of the window that insert into the B pillar.
