I have a 90A with an unusual problem.  Any advice would be greatly   
appreciated.
It seems I have a large amount of water below the passenger side floor.   
 I can't seem to locate exactly where it is but when I stop or accelerate   
it sounds like I have a small bathtub full of water down there.  I can't   
seem to figure out where the water is, how it got in there, or how to get   
it out (main priority now).

I have a small tear in the "B-pillar" area of the top.  Been there a   
while and I've never had this problem before.  Problem occurred after a   
heavy overnight storm.  I found a plug under the rocker panel.  Pushed   
the plug in and a small amount (1 pint or so) of water came out.  Not   
near the mother load that is still in there though.

One other weird symptom, if I accelerate in a left and turn and then   
brake, water comes down from behind the glove box and drips in the   
passenger footwell area.

Thanks,
Ryles
