Hi again,
Couldn't find this anywhere in the archives... Recently I when stopping or accelerating I would hear what sounded like LOTS of water sloshing around somewhere along the driver's side of my '80. Checked the doors; nope all dry inside...
I looked under the doors, at the body part which I guess is the rocker panel and saw some plastic buttons in there... decided to uncork one and GUSH-- out comes all this water!
No telling how long it'd been in there-- and more concerning to me, is how it got in in the first place.
How might water have gotten in there (and its waaaaaaay more than condensation; like a liter or two-- A LOT)? Any harm in keeping those holes open permanently to allow circulation (no worries in Oregon about salt on roads in winter anyway and summer is D-R-Y.)
Soon as I know its dry as a bone in there I'll shoot rust prev. just to kill anything in there, but I'd like to know how to KEEP it dry in there...
