New C6 problems
I bought my LMB C6 Conv. in May and I have a few issues...Has anybody had similar problems and any fixes?
Water leak on driver side (near the clutch/dead pedal area, noticed during rain storm and washing car)
A/C sometimes refuses to blow cold on startup (sometimes hitting Auto "wakes it up")
Driver door sometimes won't open...window goes down, but door does not unlock....mind of its own.

Yes, I noticed some water on the floor mat under the brake and clutch pedal. I have had it in the rain a few times but this time it eas parked on a slight incline. Was not sure if I put it there some how but now I know it was a leak. Have you taken it to the dealer yet? let me know what you find out.

BTW, the search function on this forum is virtually useless.

I had a problem with wet floor mats on my way home from BG. It turned out the AC drain hose was pinched. Here's the link to my post with the details:

I have the same water leak, but only in a brushless car wash, when the water was flooding over the hood with the machine, never in normal rain. It's a few drips and then it stops. The grommet seal mentioned above sounds like the most plausible theory for the cause.

You do have to watch the guide rails though... some won't accommodate the low vette or low profile tires without scratching the wheels. Have to check it out with the manager *before* running through.
