Tim:

A couple of suggestions:

A) Front grill/vents.. are there any holes into the front compartment?

B) I know near me the wind and rain has been bad (Princeton NJ area). Are
there any holes or obvious ways that the water could be getting in near the
shift booty of pedals?

Now you got me paranoid.. haven't been in the van in 2 dayz....
