Re: A pond on the floor of my back seat!!!

["Brad Sayer" <vwrocco87@hotmail.com>]

In my old 85, problem was bad passenger door window seal.  Water was gushing 
downt hte inside of the door, and even with a repalced membrance enough was 
splashign around and find its way inside the car.  Replaced the window/sill 
seal and all was good.

>>Hey People,
>>

>>
>>If this is possible, i think its happening in my 85.

>>Any help is much appreciated.
