Howdy,

I have a new to me '67 180C. We've had her for about 2 months and had a few issues, but all were pretty easy to fix up to this point. However, today when I stopped in the airport I found the footwells (pilot and passenger side ahead of the small ridge) had standing water. It was as much as a half an inch.

I recently replaced the door seal, but the area next to the door / under the seat was dry. Any ideas where this leak might be coming from? I'd like to find it and get it fixed.

A few extra details -- previous rains did not leave a puddle, but this came after a tropical storm with max winds around 60 mph. I have a Bruce's cover (full cover) coming, but it has yet to arrive. Hangaring is not an option at this time (none available and couldn't afford one anyway).

Thanks!
