Re: Help!!!

Might want to add a "signature" showing the car's year and body type.

Re: Help!!!

Have you checked your drivers side window to make sure it is aligned correctly and closes/seals properly along the weatherstrip?

Re: Help!!!

I know you are probably tired of drying up the inside of the car or sitting down on wet seat but I got an idea...
Have someone sit inside the drivers side and you or someone else spray around the drivers side door with a hose and have the person inside the car
inspect and look around and feel for a leak...see if this helps?

Depens on the Generation. Obviously, the older the body, the drier the seals and weather striping. My 4th gen hardly leaks. I've only had a couple small drips. They're not THAT bad. I had a third Gen W/out T's and I never had water leaks.
Check window/striping contact points. Try putting your window down and then rolling it back up. Sometimes the window dosen't seat into the striping correctly if you just *close* the door. The new C6's have a feature so when you close the door, it rolls the windows up a little to seat it into that groove.

Re: Help!!!

I know on my 85 I used to have leaked around the windshield. That was a hard leak to find, but it did just what you have said. I know its a old car, but the desighn is the same.
