My recently purchased E30 went through it's first hard rain here in Florida

Anyone who drove a 60 or 70's Chrysler product in the rain always had a wet left foot. Of course these cars had super duper front vents in the dash that let a lot of outside air in. Very few cars had ac so I thought it was worth a damp foot for a good air flow.

Sounds like it's time for either rust repair or missing unibody plug replacement.

foot vents, old school cool.

I had something that was like that but I don't remember what it was.

I don't think it's a rust issue. Can you elaborate on what a unibody plug is?

in certain spots under the body and on the firewall they cut openings. I guess for possible wiring routes or stuff like that but those get rubber plugs to seal them once the wiring is routed and things like that are done. sometimes they get popped out or half popped out
