It is most likely that the exit tubes from the boxes are actually clogged, or that there are some leaves in there which float around until they cover the exits. The seals usually don't give trouble, but I suppose they might if they were bad AND you were driving. If this leaks when parked, then my guess is that it's not a seal problem; it is more likely that the leak is from the air vent once the box fills up to that level. The cure is to make sure the box can drain well, so it can't fill up with water. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
