Leaks

My Charger leaks water in to the boot and from the windows somewhere in to the footwells, does everyone just live with this problem or have better weatherstripping been done? Is it the windscreen wipers where it gets in usually as I haven't tracked where it's coming from, I won't be driving it in the rain but it's still annoying, thanks

I've long since learned never to let a problem go with these cars, unless you want to spend 10 times as much replacing body panels.  A couple areas to look at:  you may want to remove the chrome trim around the windshield to see if any rust holes have developed.  Mine had a small hole about 3 inches from the right side bottom of the windshield, about as big around as a pencil lead.  I've just recently filled the hole, but that wasn't the main cause of my leak.  In my case it was/is the heater core that leaks and drips into the floor on the right side footwell.  You may want to take a look to see where the water is dripping in from.  Pull up the carpet to see if any rust is forming in isolated areas.  Its possible the weatherstripping needs replacement
