Any thoughts?

I'd drill a hole in the floor under the carpet for water to drain if I was that concerned, but I'm pretty shadetree/redneck/ghetto.

I meant all convertibles! My coupe didn't leak, AND the sunroof worked! It was great!

Until it actually rained, because my defrost didn't work, and my wiper switch was sketchy.

So discovered the MOP codes were due to the connectors being dirty. read the proper ohms on my multimeter at the MOP but half the connector at the top of the engine was dead (no reading). Thought it was a short, removed the wiring going from the MOP to the top of the engine, cleaned the connectors, verified wasn't shorted with my multimeter and reinstalled.

Now I've got code 17, All I could find out is its "feedback system" whatever that means...

Also I'm getting an intermittent miss at idle, but I think that could be due to a damaged TPS wire thats running on field repairs ATM. Will be stripping the wire ends and soldering it tomorrow.
