STRUCTURE
HAVE HAD TWO CADILLAC EL DORADO'S. BOTH OF WHICH HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUNK LEAKING. HAVE HAD TO DRILL HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF OUR FIRST CADILLAC TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN. HAVE ALSO HAD TO USE A SHOP AND VAC TO SUCK OUT THE WATER. THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CADILLAC'S. HOWEVER, A YEAR AGO, PURCHASED A 1997 CADILLAC EL DORADO AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALTHOUGH NOT TO THE SAME EXTENT. THE WETNESS IN THE TRUNK IS CAUSING CONDENSATION AND MILDEW. THE ODOR COMES INTO THE CAR.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT
I BOUGHT CLEAR FLOOR MATS FOR MY CAR, BRAND = KRAGAN 8826 FLOOR MAT CLEAR - MODEL NO = PA 6212492. THE FLOOR MAT IS VERY SLIPERY ON THE CAR CARPET. IT DOES NOT GRIP TO THE FLOOR. YOU CAN EASILY SLIP AND FALL WHILE GETING IN THE CAR SINCE FLOOR MAT SKIDS EASILY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE DESIGN HAS VERY POOR GRIP SINCE IT IS MORE ROUNDED RATHER THAN POINTED FOR IT TO GRIP ON THE CARPET. THERE MAY BE SEVERAL KINDS OF FLOOR MATS THAT DO NOT HAVE GRIP BECAUSE IT IS TOO ROUNDED. I BOUGHT IT ON JUNE 15TH AND THE MATS JUST KEEP ON SLIDING WHILE GETTING IN THE CAR.*AK
