Well, I took David's advice and bought some 3M strip caulk stuff. GOOD ADVICE. A 30' box of the stuff (yes -- THIRTY FEET) was just right to put sealant on both kick panels. I unwrapped what was in the package, kneaded it into a neat round strip, cut it in half (lengthwise), and fished it into place. I haven't taken the time to put the car up on ramps (or stands, or insert-favorite-southeastern-state contraptions) and drill bigger drain holes, but I may not have to. It's rained fairly hard three days this week, and so far so good. The floors are still dry -- front, back, and trunk. Kewl! Thanks for the help!
