sitting on my passenger seat and it was soaked! The only way it's going
to get up there is through the sunroof! SO, one of my jobs tomorrow is to find out why it's leaking! I believe the front vent inlets can get plugged ...

Hey, I'm just the idea guy(think tank) mostly just (tanked)! :lol: I can help! I could do it, but, i would only be able to update the auction once a day, and that wouldn't be fair to the bidders.
