Hello John,

I do not know if any of the replies mentioned this, but you can still 
get leak through the vent if the rocker panel is filled with leaves, 
dirt, etc. and/or the drain at the back of the car is plugged.  I had 
this happen with my wife's car the first time it got rained on hard 
after being restored.  Water started dripping in through the vent.  I 
could later hear water sloshing in the rocker. It turned out the rear 
drain slot was plugged with maple tree seeds, small leaves, bondo dust 
and dirt.  I pulled the front and rear rubber plugs from the wheel wells 
and began a process of water blasting, digging (with my finger through 
the slot) , blast, dig... until both sides were cleaned out.  No more 
water leaking in!  Also, a potential rust problem mitigated.
