    Soaked carpet after a rain

    I can't for the life of me find why my carpet is always wet after a rain. I see some water around the sill carpet hold down. With new wind lace which I believe is installed correctly, leaks all the time. Anyone have any cures? Thanks.

    Duals and steering wheel

    Does anyone know where I can find Dutra Dual exhaust manifolds? Hard to find. Also if you're considering a steering wheel renovation, I had mine done with Steering Wheel Bob in NJ and I'm quite impressed. Worth the money if you love your car. Thanks.
