I gave the vert a good bath the other day, and today i noticed a good ammount of water sitting in the well liner when I looked through the rear window. Should water be setting in there? Should there be a way for it to drain out? There is almost enough water setting to start getting into the rear speakers. I figure tommorrow I will take my wetvac and vacume out the water so it won't start to mold my interior. Any help here would be appreciated.

The water should go into the rain gutter first and dump out into the inside rear quarter panel and come out a drain hole under your rocker located just in front of your rear wheels.

So then the water should not even make it into the convertible well?

There should be no water in the well liner

How would you know Brad?.....Your car's never been wet.........

Stephen, for the amount of water you described it sounds like the rain gutter is missing?
You should be able to see a piece of black plastic about 2-1/2"" wide by 2" tall that follows the opening for the top when you look behind the well liner.

Thank you all for your response. Should I be able to see the rain gutter from in the trunk? If the gutter is missing how would I replace it? Is it available from any restoration vendor?

Stephen, Yes you can see it from inside the trunk, it is reproduced and installs with screws.

Well, rain gutter is in place. I guess I will have to get someone to pour water over back of top while I sit inside to see where it is getting in at. Luckly the car never sees rain so it only gets wet whenever it gets a bath.

I have the same problem. Mine always lets water in on the passenger side.

Thats where it appears to be getting in as I could see water marks running down the well liner.

When I wash mine, I get some in the well liner, I just wipe it out right away and no problem.

Sometimes the gutter has debris in it and it overflows like a clogged rain gutter on your house or it may have a small crack in it.

$195 bucks for a piece of plastic sounds like a rip-off. Is there another source???
