Rain... Leaks must stop! lol...

beach · 08-10-2002, 05:56 PM

I have a 00 GT, and it seems every time it rains, or there's any dew or condensation on my car, if I crack the window it just pours in. All over the window buttons, lock button, etc. It's almost like it was designed to channel water into my car

Do any of you guys use rain guards? I smoke in my car, and I always crack the window but this is getting annoying. Just wondering if any of you guys could point me to some decent looking/quality rain guards. I've searched, btw.

Also, I noticed since I had my offroad pro chamber put on, every time I stop and idle (especially at fast food joints where there's a wall on my left side), some NASTY exhaust rolls into my car... practically chokes me. Are these short little dates with Miss Carbon Monoxide safe, or should I keep my windows up till I take off?

Hehe,
The 86-98s have the exact same "water funneling" problem.
I tend to keep a rag around for the purpose of cleaning up my doors when I decide to crack the windows in the rain.

As far as the carbon monoxide...
ANY amount is bad for you. So I would only crank the window down while standing still when you have to.

Funny, but the 98 doesn't really have that particular problem.

Well, the offroad pipe i had put on eliminated the cats, so i figure that's why i'm getting raw exhaust?

not to flame or anything, but i believe smoking is much worse than breathing the stuff your car makes for a min, and i personally think that raw car exhaust doesnt even stink as bad.

Carbon Monoxide is pretty dangerous and can kill someone quite easily.

While getting a little car exhaust mixed with lots of fresh air from your car window shouldn't do anything to you, it certainly can't be good for you....

I would personally and strongly recommend to stay away from both...but the decision's yours...

Cigarettes HAVE Carbon Monoxide in them among other things.
