<x-charset iso-8859-1>Jim As usuall, your all over it!! I have worked on the only rust in the car which is down low in the front of the rocker where it goes under the front fender and had the fender off. Since the fine VW AM radio doesn't seem to work anyway except for providing an extra dash light, I didn't put the antenna back on and will bet that is the problem. you da man! Thanks again, I'll fix it and drive in the rain. Then I can tell for sure that's what's happening. Still have an issue with water getting into my rocker and coming in the heat vent by my foot. Just a very little but not sure how I'm going to get that fixed. Do they make replacement rocker sheet metal I could weld or have welded in?

If it only happens while driving, and if you find a lot of water on the floor also, then check to see if there is a sealing grommet where the antenna wire passes thru the inner fender wall to the inside of the car. This was left out of a lot of cars and this will spray a LOT of water inside in a heavy rain. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
