123's are prone to windshield seal leaks and rusting out of the hood hinge pockets. Both of these lead to water leaks into the interior. The water drains downhill to the floor pans - sometimes under the carpet. The carpet may feel dry but the water starts the floor pan rust. It's a cancer that once started is hard to stop and repair.
