...in terms of preventive rust maintenance, etc.?
Found this on what people who water-wash their car do, so I assume it's the same type of stuff? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=71280 air compressor to blow out water from any nooks and crannies, after making sure in particular to get (with a towel): - trunk gutters - bottom corners of the front trunk, since water travels from top corners to bottom. - inside edges of the window trim - the black plastic vent plugs in the door jams |

I added small drain holes to the rear trunk and floorboards.
If that's not enough, i use a towel to get the water out as soon as possible. I don't have a garage, so i have to do that frequently ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Andy I didn't think those holes in my rear trunk were stock - not symetrical. I know the ones in the floorboards were not stock as they came from me when the ONE time I parked the car outside overnight it poured and put over an inch of water inside the car. Are there any stock drainage holes? Steve |
