New 914 owner with a question, water leak Options

[dltalfa]

Hey Guys!!! I'm a brand new 914 owner. I have been a car enthuisist for many years, but this is my first Porsche of any kind.

I already have a problem / question.

I bought this car two weeks ago. Due to limited garage space, it was left parked in my driveway while the family and I went on vacation last week.

When I returned home today, the entire interior is covered with mold and mildew, especially the carpet. I mean it was almost completely white with fuzzy mold.

My neighbor told me it rained almost every day while I was gone,..but there is NO water in the car,..just mold and mildew.

First,..is this a common issue with these cars?
Second,..how can I best clean this mess up?

If your going to clean it, do it outside. Don't bring the mold inside. Next, park your car in the same spot or incline as before. If the ass end was higher then lay the water to it and saturate it around the rear window. Go into the cabin, pull back the carpet from the back pad and check for water. None. Then spray some water under the top rear where the fiberglass top and gasket meet. If the ass end was high and it was raining sideways (which is always) then it would leak in. Moving forward and regardless of inclination, hose the windows. I'll bet you my ass in Hell you just found some if not previously. Finally let the hose run on the top front seal then move it slowly arounf the windshield. The lower part of the windshield and trunk seals are leak culprits. If you get that thing water tight can we take pictures? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
