I've got some questions about water leaks (since this seems to be a popular topic right now). The rainy season has just begun and I haven't cleaned my garage for my fasty yet. I believe that the window seals (front, back) need to be replaced and are leaking. I have water on the floor, after even a small rain shower (but I did not drive in it). The trail from the window to the floor along the kick panel is dry, it even looks dry every where else, like along the front fire wall. But it is wet along the pan seal at the bottom. Could water be 'running' into the car this way? How? The fender welting is poor as well, could it be running down the inside of the fender and then thru the pan seal? Sounds far fetched to me. On another note I would like to install abs speaker panels on the kick panels. I was thinking about using sheet metal screws. Is the kick panel metal the same as the wheel well metal? i.e. will the screws go right into the wheel well? Would just some silicon sealer do the trick if this is so? I was also thinking about riveting on a snap and fastening the other side of the snap to the abs panel, which might seal a little better. nathan 1970 fastback ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
