Re: Rat repair.

Once the water soaks the padding underneath its a bear for it to dry. You will most definitely want to pull the seat and pad to let it dry. That will also help show where some of the moisture is coming from. Have you checked your drip rail moldings and made sure you arent missing any of the fasteners?

Drip rail molding fasteners?

I found one of them being the antenna hole /grommet is not sealed well enough,, I'll have to pull the cowl again and get the seam sealer. but there also seems to be a leak coming in from above the antenna hole when looking up under the dash so it could be the window seal or possibly a leak coming from the drip rail? I planned on resealing the drip rail next spring or summer when it gets warm out.

While i like the stock antenna I'm beginning to think about sealing that hole shut and find an internal antenna, any suggestions??
