Just got rid of a Saab with a rotted spare tire well and holes in the driver and passenger floor, all from various water leaks. The car had other issues as well so I decided not to sink time and $$$ into it that I’d never get back.

I'd love to see that Taco project - post a thread in the lounge if you're taking pics.

More fun. Just had to go Jerry rig this car in a parking lot so I could drive it back. Wouldn’t start, shifter wouldn’t release.
Attachment 22918its a bit nastier than usual. This is a 2017 which is odd to have this problem to begin with. And the problematic connector has been relocated already. One of the bypassed wires was corroded where it was soldered and 2 other wires were corroded at the lowest spot where it’s been sitting in salt brine…yum

Just to confirm: the issue is users coming in with their wet/ice covered shoes?
I've driven the mirage several times in knee-deep water and dont ever recall having water inside the cabin.
Correctish. Boots with snow and a mix of ice melt(salt and maybe other magic herbs). None of this is caused by water working is way from random holes in the car.
Weathertech mats would prevent this in most cases but if you don't dump them out once in a while you'll be in the same boat. I might bring some vabor barrier to work and try to seal off the wiring harness a bit better?

Vader barrier! I was just thinking of the same thing.
I'm too poor/cheap to splurge on weatherteks, but I've made vader barrier winter layers before that tuck in the sill trim all the way over to under the console. Tuck tape where needed for contouring.

Yeah, I didn't have either one at work so duct tape to the rescue. Again. This one kept throwing a p0498(vent solenoid under spare tire) code for the last little while. After I fixed all the wires the engine light was out. Until I went to pull it out of the shop....
So now I'm trying to figure this one out. Bench tested solenoid with 12 volts. White wire at solenoid has 12volts and I assume the brown is grounded via the ecu? Wires look fine from the solenoid connector all the way up into the trunk. Junk.
