Unhappy

Thanks again for the feedback, appreciated. Neighbor came by to remark on what a nice ride....

Wicked rainy today, pulled carpet back and found water dripping at rear of footwell. Most likely the windshield? Checked the gasket, seems really tight, no water could be seen on top of dash over and around the glovebox. Gasket around windshield not cracked or brittle, doesn't seem to need to be replaced so then I went to store looking for black butyl caulk, the stuff that stays sticky and flexible and all they offered was grey and white, will order some from net. Hoping for the moment that this fix will take care of the leak. Is there a drain for the sunroof? Would that possibly drain to this location? She is remarkably free of rust; we have really salty air and rain out here and this car shows no signs of rust; nothing in wheel wells, chassis is clean, under the doors clean. Spent an hour cleaning the window switches with WD-40 and a light scrub to clean out lots of dog hair and any electrical contact pitting. Windows up and down much faster now. Sunroof needs lube job. Any suggestions on what to use and what to clean it with and where?

Nasty wailing noise started up from what I assume is alternator belt. Grrrrrrrr Turned off rear defrost and noise subsided somewhat. Neighbors are loving me......
