THANK YOU for all the info and for posting the actual part needed plus photos ! .

I've been suffering soggy carpets for a long time now, will hopefully address this soon .

Looks like I'll have to remove the seat to gain access as I have a broken back & neck .

To dry out my sopping wet carpets I simply hang the up on the clothes line to drain out , they're heavy and so need 7 or 8 clothes pins to hold but they drip like mad a day or three then are fully dry in a week .

I did then what I knew how to do ~ now that I know better I do better

The dishwasher rubber connector works better than the factory design. I had to trim off an inch or so off it and it's a very tight fit, but it will go in. Now if I can figure about how to deal with all the rust under the drivers seat. The condensation actually ate through the bottom of the car in three or four spots. (No, I'm not the original owner ... Just got the car a week ago as a gift) This happened to a buddy of mine a few years back in his Mustang, and after a year or so this wetness, I was driving it and actually fell through the floor on the freeway .... only the front edge held on, or I'd have probably have been killed. So water inside isn't something to be ignored.
At least now we know why it constantly stunk ......

Look into POR-15
