X2. My boxster sat for months in 100f+ degree weather after the interior got wet and it still had tons of water in the insulation. It soaks water in but doesn't let it out

Update and WARNING!

That car is all f n wet, just need a coffee before and look for it again. Water came in from the door, the driver's side carpet is wet just below the speaker (the door?!). When you pull the passenger seat, its all wet behind there too. Car is leaving to the indy in a n hour for drying, this guy has a 8,566 Horsewatts Shop Vac there so hope he'll be able to pull up as much as possible.

It feels and smells like an indoor public pool when you open the door. Something completely wrong with this car because I never had a drop coming in during all those years, those days I've driven it in the rain anyway (few times for sure).

20years old seals are self-destructing, drains are shot, both maybe, no idea what it is but I'll update if we ever find out. Watch out for this year's savage weather dearest 97'98 owners :/
