Re: I have a leak!!!

Check around the rear lights too.  This seems like an unlikely place for 
water to get in, but I've seen it happen.  A good way to find leaks is 
to be inside the car while a friend is squirting the car with a hose.  
Sounds kind of silly, but it's probably about the only way you'll find 
the leak for sure.

I just went through this about a year ago.  If you checked the sunroof
drain tubes, and they are clear, then I'll assume that you cleand out 
the
holes in the drip tray(where the wiper motor/blackbox is) that the tubes
empty into.  My leak was from the windshield gasket itself, between the
glass and the gasket.  If all else fails, try to put some lear silicone
around the gasket.  

The carpeting and headliner etc remove pretty easily.  I'll help if you 
can
narrow down the leak.

i own an 88 rocco and here is what is happening...  when even i get a
relativly large rain storm, i end up with a puddle in my drivers side 
back
seat floor.  It doesn't matter if the car is parked with the drivers 
side
up or down.(like on a hill.)  it still end's up in teh drivers side back
seat floor.  nothing seems to be getting wet iin the front except when i
wetn to go wash my car the other day,  i noticed a puddle on my drivers
side front floor mat (they're plastic.)  all of the drian tubes are 
clear. 
then if i get a hard enough rain storm, i will get a puddle in the spare
tire well.  it got so bad i had to take my speakers out of the trunk
because the box turned to mush.  (that pissed me off...)  i would like 
to
fix this problem as easily as possible, but as i have found out from
personal experiances, that is not always true.
thanx a bunch,
corey
