Reply to "Water on driver's side floorboard"

I really appreciate all the advice. Thanks to all. The reason I am so very upset is that when I told the maker of my Spyder (again, not God) that I was selling my Speedster for the same problem (although it was MUCH WORSE--flooded the entire car from street water), I was assured this car could NOT take in water from underneath because of the water tight quality of the cabin. Now, here I am with water inside again. I DO KNOW that the water I am talking about DOES NOT come in from around the windows or canopy, although there is a small leakage around the windows that settles to the side of my seat, but it is negligible. I am fairly certain there will be no rust because of the fiberglass body and the powder-coated frame; however, I know from previous Speedster experience, the carpet mildews and smells bad, even given a chance to dry out. It can't dry out fast enough to prevent mildew. Besides, I don't like driving and getting the cuff of my scrub pants or jeans or even sweat pants wet! While I realize no one has advised it, telling me to abort the idea of a daily driver is not an option. This is my second attempt at a hand-built car, and I am determined to make this one work, and besides I like driving it too much. Am I doomed to drive a sloshy, stinky car?? v
