Water leaking in
I saw water in my floor pans and then I noticed water wasn’t draining from the area where my wipers sit and i tried to unclog the drain and i think it worked however water still enters the cabin from the kick panels is there anyways to fix this?

I just know some basic stuff from when I was looking to buy my corvette, windshield frame rot is a possible source of water getting in that area. There could be other reasons i’m not sure. Hopefully someone with more birdcage expertise chimes in

i was hoping it wasn’t a rotten birdcage due to the fact i don’t have the knowledge or money to fix.

I had a 75 back in the day, my first Vette. I kept a bag of quarters in the car so I could run by the quarter wash and vacuum the water out of the floorboards after it rained. Chicks didn't mind, it was still a Vette.

A couple months ago, I lost one of the plastic bushings for the wiper door down the side, but nothing came out the bottom. A strong stream from a garden hose with nozzle down the side and out came the bushing, lots of dirt, pieces of leaves, and... another wiper door bushing from someone else's work on the door in the distant past! Flushed the other side too and got also got leaves and dirt –– unfortunately, no tank sticker, cash, or diamond rings. Afterwards, the floors were wet but I'm hoping it was due to the volume of water plus the blockages backing the flow up at the lower plenum doors.
