The '76 Glenbrook/Clasco I just bought has damage on the body where the driver's side mirror attaches because a PO must have hit something with the mirror. So I pulled off the inside plastic side panel (has the ashtray) to get at the body to fix the damage so I can remount the mirror.

Under the panel I removed I found that about 4 inches of the wood floor board had severe dry rot from prior water leakage. Poor choice of plywood type on GM's part. I'll have to replace the floorboard as a later project, but are there any recommendations on stopping the leak, at least temporarily? I noted some window sealing tape on Jim K's site. Does it work and not look awful?
