Co., Everett, WA Lines: 27 Amazing! I was about to post a request for info on this very subject, and this morning I read the thing about checking a sunroof for leaks. I recently purchased a '77 VW Rabid, and what a junkbox it is, too! No sunroof, but it does have a factory-installed luggage rack. Well, the rainy season has returned to Washington state (after a gorgeous summer, I might add!), and I knew I had not driven the car enough for that much water to have gotten in from the underside. My probable solution in this case will be to just gop some RTV around each of the stanchions on the rack, and I have a feeling that that will take care of it. Meanwhile, I think I'll probably install a drain-plug from my local marina. |-) As an aside, I called the *dingbat* I got the car from and asked where the switch for the bilge pump was located. She replied, "I really don't know -- you'll have to look in the owner's manual". This is a great newsgroup. Thanks to all of you for keeping it relatively sane. -- Gary Benson ms232e -*- John Fluke Mfg Co -*- Box C9090 -*- Everett WA 98206 USA {microsoft,allegra,ssc-vax,sun,sb1}{decvax,ihnp4,tektronix!uw-beaver}!fluke!inc +- Paid for by the Tirebiter for Political Solutions Committee, Sector R -+ -- Gary Benson ms232e -*- John Fluke Mfg Co -*- Box C9090 -*- Everett WA 98206 USA {microsoft,allegra,ssc-vax,sun,sb1}{decvax,ihnp4,tektronix!uw-beaver}!fluke!inc +- Paid for by the Tirebiter for Political Solutions Committee, Sector R -+
