The most common cause for this is not an open window or bad door seal, but leaking fresh air vents. The airbox from the louvers in front of the dash has drain hoses to carry away water that falls in there. When these hoses clog up the water drips down onto the floor. You can (MUST!) just pull out the hoses and clean them out. > Good: Also on the positive front, I examined the seat cables and > discovered that they are in fact complete and unbroken. Nice going. ;-) > I don't have the key for the ignition (next project)to turn it on. Late cars, 68-73 have just one key for the doors and ignition. On these cars you can take out a door handle (passenger side is best) and take it to a locksmith to have a key made. Some earlier years have separate keys for door and ignition so this won't work.
