Re: Drowning In LA

Two ways to find it.

Get someone to spray you with a hose from above while you sit inside and
watch.  Get a chair or step ladder so they are not tempted to spray
sideways
under the weather-stripping.

If you can't get an assistant, go to an automatic car wash, brushless,
padless, that just sprays water. Watch for the leak.

If you wait for rain, it will probably be cloudy or dark and you won't
have
the light to see.  In fact, it may not hurt to have a flashlight with you
to
light up the area when looking for water.
