I am certain that I do not know what I am doing with this car yet, (but someday I WILL be an expert..), however it seems more difficult to enter the engine compartment with a glass rear window than with a plastic one. Also, I am very curious as to what the trick is to keeping the interior of the car dry. I have severe electrical trouble every time I get caught in the rain until the car dries out. The floor carpet is also wet behind the drivers seat. I need to learn the fine points of cleaning and verification of the body / water drains as well as how to adjust and troubleshoot mechanical issues with the soft top. Anyone who can post links to point us in the right direction would be very appreciated.

Here is the info on the drains: http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/drainsdiagram

Also, be sure to check your foam drain pans in the convertible top well for any rips or tears. This type of damage happens frequently when one of the plastic ball cups on the end of the front pushrods breaks and the pushrod ends up dangling and then digging into the foam drain tray when the V-levers are rotated.
