My carpet is soaked

Well, underneath the carpet is soaked. Is this common? My old SVX was exactly the same way. All the foam stuff is soaking wet. -Dennis

My trunk was collecting water when I first bought her. The water would slosh up and get inside, soaking the carpet. I pulled 2 of the plugs around the spare tire and the problem went away.

But the carpet is the only thing thats wet... if it were the seals, wouldnt the entire interior be wet?

The trunk is dry

no the drains run down the side of the interior, as best I can remember... Worth a check to try and find it

Agreed.

When I got my latest SVX, there were 3 mice living under the back seat. They chewed up the foam and made a real mess.
