Would this cause water to enter the car? There are holes in the rocker panels which might let water eventually into the heater channels and then into the car (or around the channels and into the car under the back seat.) I would expect it to take 10-20 seconds for water to start to appear inside, however, unless things are rusted out making water entry easier. Of course if the water got above the door sills, in most cases the door seals wouldn't do a very good job of slowing down the flow. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
