[urq] Wet floors - causes?

[Frank de Kat]

Hello Jon:

I've had 'lakes' in my urq..

All came about when I changed to 8" Ronals.
Tire shop hadn't done a good job of cleaning rims, so got 3 flats all  
at once..
One of the flats knocked off the corner of bondo that had repaired the  
front bottom corner  of a rear wheel opening.
(A common rust point, at the rear end of the rocker panels)

That missing bit of bondo let water from rear wheel spray get into the  
rocker structure from the now 'open' hole in the rocker end , and   
shared the water under all of the passenger  side carpets.  Didn't  
*really* come to light until my wife got a 'soaker' when getting into  
the car. Pulling up the carpets revealed a "very interesting" story..   
:-(

If you are really serious in finding your leak (and have no low  
hanging answers), pulling up the carpet  in quest of leaks and rust  
may be required..
