Research project for anyone bored at work today: Why does my 1992 Crystler LeBaron Convertible keep flooding on the driver's side floor? We can't figure out how the water is getting in (my da...

Our convertible leaks because of a slight crack in the windsheild. A good test to figure out where the water is coming from: Sprinkle your roof with baby powder and watch where the channel forms.

I will try this! My dad and Ben tried sitting in the car while the other sprayed it with the hose yesterday but didn't get any results.

Hahaha - a leak ususally results when water is built up in the channels, so it's not instant. If you have a hairline windshield crack or even a little rust, it'll cause a leak.

I found a page listing the problem areas for leaks... oh my. Maybe an alternate plan would be to put some hole in your floor boards to let the water out. :-)

Hmm..thanks! This gives me someplace to start at least. Stupid car.

We've been using buckets but a hole just may work better.

ehh, you don't want a hole in your floor in NJ - the warmth and then cold will rust it really quickly, then you've got a bigger problem on your hands. The quick solution would be to get a waterproof tarp to put on the roof.

What about laying down a old gor-tex jacket with a series of small holes... ala Geox http://www.geox.com/english/dx_patent.htm

Ah forget about the whole thing... what about This!

Buying a new car would solve my problems! I think..I may have to wait a little while though. And I'd have to get a toyota because my boyfriend is a mechanic for Lexus (which are made by toyota).

I wish I could be described half as well as this car...

The Lexus SC 430 can be described as a convertible, hardtop , desireable, passionate, sensual, seductive, functional, artistic, and cool.

Ben calls that an expensive rattle. It's one of the loudest cars with tons of problems and I'm forbidden from getting it. Soo cute though!

My dad has one of those. I love pointing out to him that it's an old man car.
