Naturally, I try to get in and out as quickly as possible.
Lost power at work...lights flicking right now. Just broke a record for the most rainfall in November EVER in the Seattle area! (almost 12"). Needless to say, I miss convertible weather!
Stacie,
Perhaps you should check into the Crossfire "pontoon" aftermarket option. They mount to the doors and come in 7 designer colors. I drove I-5 through Sea-Tac on vacation this summer to Victoria, BC... Traffic sucks going BOTH ways, ANY time of the day, even on WEEKENDS... Took 2 hours to go 20 miles. How do you stand it?
Anyway, glad you got your weather stripping worked out. Here's something to try to make it easier to check for leaks... Put some dry paper towels or kleenex in the purported affected area. Go about your business. Come back and check that the kleenex/paper towel is perfectly flat. A single drop of water hitting a paper towel/kleenex, even if it dries up quickly afterwards while you are away, will leave a ripple mark where the drip originally hit. Febreeze will take out or cover any hints of odor... assuming you prefer the smell of Febreeze over the odor.
Sorry about the pooch... 16 years is 112 human years, so that's pretty good.
