[s-cars] Lots of water in footwell & how to remove the carpet

[Jeremy Palenchar]

Thanks for the support JC....


I guess the question here is: how to be sure.

Any suggestions on determining if the leak is around the relay box or is in
the drain from the relay box area?

I guess I could duct tape over the drain area and fill the relay box well
with water and see if it is still leaking.....

Any other thoughts on this?
