Just bought my first car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hopefully the weather gets better so i can drive. Makes it difficult with this humidity when the heat and defrost don't work. Looks like previous owner removed the heat lever and covered it with carpet.

For some reason I was in New York this weekend, but should be home next weekend. I'll want some time with my family Saturday. How's Sunday for y'all, if it's not raining? I can't drive it in the rain. I left it outside one night and came back to a cabin full of water. I adjusted the seal a bit the night before and it caused the rain to literally stream into my car. It was like a waterfall. Just incredible. |

I can't drive it in the rain. I left it outside one night and came back to a cabin full of water. I adjusted the seal a bit the night before and it caused the rain to literally stream into my car. It was like a waterfall. Just incredible. Mine isn’t quite that bad, but still an impressive amount of water and wind when I get caught in the rain. I worry about water getting under the carpet and rusting out the floorpan. I’m not positive either trunk is seale either. I’m thinking about just buying the full 914Rubber kit since I’m guessing the other rubber parts are also shot. On another thread someone wrote he had a 12V hair dryer hooked up to his defogger. I wonder whether that would actually work? |

I wonder whether that would actually work? What about a mrheater? I think that would be more efficient than a 12v car defroster which will output almost no heat. I thought about putting a small propane tank in the frunk and running a hose to the cabin. It would warmup the cabin in less than 30 seconds. |
