Hi,

I've discovered a VERY wet carpet, but only in the left-side passenger area. Every thing else is dry. I did the dollar carwash yesterday with the spray wand about an hour before I discovered it so I don't know if it had been wet before or has been since I bought it a week ago.

I have noticed the lower moulding on left quarterpanel glass is pulling out and exposing about a two inch gap at the lower front edge. If It were coming through here I'd expect the carpet and insulation under the seat to be wet but flipping the seat up showed everything dry. Except that is for a plastic cup (stopper or plug) that had 1/8" foul liquid in it.

The FAQ dealt primarily with windshield leaks.

I have to say I'm amazed at how clear and clean all the drains are in the doors and rocker panels. They look like the car came from Arizona, not Pennsylvania.

Any advice on where to look is greatly appreciated.

Love this car!
