Driver's side leak...@#%@#^#$!!!
So we have been getting quite a bit of rain in the DC area lately and I have had to leave the vette in the driveway. I had a windshield wiper problem so I had not driven it in a week or so and just watched it get rained on every day. I finally get back into the car an realize my entire driver's side floor/carpet is drenched! This has never happened before since I have owned the car. Anyone have any idea as to how this could havew happened? I have had the occasional drip leak from the targa but this was much more. Also my wiper problem could apparently be caused by having clogged udders. Could this have ended up in flooding my interior?? I need some sort of good answer!

Not really an answer, but a definite "feel your pain" post.
I get leaks on the passenger side when it rains, so I keep the car cover on it.
How would the udders affect the windshield wiper operation?

There is a pretty awesome thread on how to identify leaks and clear the various drains.. I don't have a link handy but it has a ton of pics and instructions. You'll have to search for it sorry :-/
My targa top was leaking when i washed it but I just reseated it and the leak went away luckily.

apparently if the udders clog then your windshield wiper motor gets flooded which makes the wipers lose their mind..before I pulled the fuse my wipers wouldnt turn off no matter what I tried.
As for this leak indentifying thread, I guess I will begin that search. If anyone finds it please post. I have never been good with forum searches. going to try now anyway

I'd check the udders....
I had a problem with the wipers when went through car wash-found out the udders where clogged up and the wiper motor would stay under water going nuts.I cleaned them and no problem.
It's possible that you're getting water thru your fresh air intake in front of the windshield because of clogged udders....

Of the WSW motor area fills with water it can and will come up under the windshield and flow down the firewall into the drivers footwell.
