Hi all. I did a search on this and couldn't come up with anything, so I thought I'd ask...
I've got a 96 Vert, and when it rains, water pools on the driver's side - not inside the car where it would get the carpet wet, but somewhere inside the body. I can't see anything inside the car get wet, but I can hear it sloshing around when I drive, and if I undo my headliner near the back seat on the driver's side, I can peek down in and see some water. My guess is that there's a drain plug that has gotten clogged with something. I got underneath the car and looked, but couldn't see anything. Does anyone know the location of this drain hole that I suspect is plugged?
Thanks!
Samantha

Your in luck bro, I had to replace my frame, so i know the top pretty well. Inside where the top tucks into the body, theres a plastic channel that goes all the way around the top(on the inside of your car) and drains to the sides by the rear windows. Its purpose is to collect any water that goes through the tops bottom and
drain it out. theres a piece of vinyl that covers where the back seat is. its held in place by a bunch of nuts.
thats where your water is collecting. Remove it, clean it, then get into the plastic channel and make sure water can flow and its not clogged.
