Depending upon what type of sensor is used, humidity and/or minor condensation could set it off. The only permanent 100% answer is moving to a desert state. .

That's correct Roy about the sensors. I had that thought also ! As for moving to a desert state, not a possibility at the moment for my better half can't stand the heat and would like to move up the New England area.

greg - i think you are right about american body shops. they seem not to want cash jobs, just insurance.
the sensor proposal is problematic, so here is another off-the-wall idea: chunks or sacks of indicating silica gel in the 2 or 4 most vulnerable spots. this is a desiccant that changes color on wetting. you could peel back the corners of the carpet every few weeks in the wintertime to see whether each spot had gotten wet. (you'd have to know how quickly given size pieces of it would wet themselves up in your normal atmospheric conditions... i do remember charm city being pretty humid... hrm.)

Funola, I'll be looking forward to that. Where you place it and if you want to share the schematic with others, I know that I could build the circuit.
