Re: good shop in 804 area?
Jen, from your profile page and screen name, you appear to have an Acura Integra 2000 model year. Can you describe where you find the water leaking from? Is it around one of the window seals? Visible crack or just appears to "soak through"?
If it is around one of the windows that can not be opened (ie: windshield, back window), there are sealants that you can apply that are similar to rubber cement in the way that it is applied. For a more professional job, call up your car insurance agent for a recommendation as they maintain records for referrals based on cost, quality, and reputation.

no i have a water leak and i have no idea where the water is leaking from. i just find a puddle of water in my trunk where the spare tire is everytime it rains. my car is starting to smell funny b/c of it.

haha my car does that shit too! i know its not the trunklid thats leaking bc the carpet isnt ever wet. the tub where the spare tire sits underneath fills up sometimes... that richmond flood didnt help too much either..
