Rob, 
You may not want to hear this, but should check out:

I recently had my front windshield replaced in my '85 Coupe GT
(due to the difficulties of placing my bass amp in the car on my way 
to rehearsal.....idiot).  And, when the glass was removed, we took off 
the gasket and found a spot on the lower left corner (looking at the car 
from the front) that had obviously been compromised.  It had a minor amount 
of rust and was showing signs of leaking, due to the dampness of the 
insulation below the windshield on the firewall, and the carpet below.  So,
you may want to check your front windshield gasket.

Oh, and just so ya know, SWR bass cabinets don't fit in coupes...
