Sorry to hear that. Fortunately, I managed to stay dry here in Moorestown.
I'm leery of the longterm effects of water getting into the body panels and
electronics. Once the insurance company gives you the car back and you sign
the settlement, they can wash their hands and you are stuck with any
problems that crop up 2-3 years later.

Good luck and let us know what the final outcome is.
