Finally found how the exhaust fumes were leaking into the car

I've had on ongoing exhaust leak inside this convertible since we bought it. The convertible boot is missing but so what? It didn't matter for half the year because the top was down. This time of year, it matters again. I bought rubber plugs for every hole in the floor pan and spent more time staring at the firewall and rechecking exhaust fittings... It finally occurred to me to put a drop light in the trunk via the convertible boot area and turn the garage lights out. Light shown out everywhere! The trunk latch needed a minor adjustment and even though the trunk weather seal kept the water out, there were enough air gaps to allow the exhaust gas in around the trunk lid. We can finally drive when its below 50 degrees with all the windows rolled up. It's the little things that make life worth living.
