Glenn, and the group.
I just posted three pictures in the 'Photos' section titled 'Water
Leaks'.
The pictures have words I added using Microsoft Paint. Pretty easy
once I figured out the correct size of text.
The rain water should have not been able to enter the body and find
its way into the interior. The pictures are of the interior. After
taking the pictures I sealed up the leaks with McKanica Seam Sealer
Black in a aerosol can. The can is more in the shape of a tube with
a nipple on the end for ease of applying the polyurethane based goop.
Another leak I don't have a picture of is the bottom corner of the
passenger door glass beside the side view mirror. Water is allowed
to puddle up there so I removed the TRIM PAD LOWER RH (110174) and
the TRIM PAD 'A' POST RH (101876) and added more goop to the black
goop already there holding the window in place.
I too had my DeLorean sit outside before the mechanic could get to
it. It was parked nose down and the foot well on both the driver
and passenger side had puddles of water. The mechanic even
suggested to maybe drill a hole in the bottom to let the water drain
out. Hell No!

Hi,
I just discovered that water has somehow been getting into my D.
The floors on both driver and passenger sides are soaked (I had it
parked outside at my mechanic's for a couple weeks). My immediate
reaction is to blame the door seals. They're old and are a bit worn
in areas. Before I rush out and buy a new seal kit, are there any
other possible problem areas I should inspect? The car hasn't been
driven in the rain at all, so the water must be seaping in from the
door seals or some other area that could let water run into the
interior (I'm thinking the trunk maybe???).
Thanks,
Glenn
