The weather ISN'T always right, JD...just last Friday I made a mad 110 mile dash from home to my GF's house....ran from rain all the way, ALMOST made it before the clouds opened up and dropped buckets on me when I was only 18 miles from my destination. I sat in the rain with a tarp over "luggage" and other items carried on the passenger's side and an umbrella over me in the driver's seat for 45 minutes while the rain poured in. Right now the seats and the carpet are out of the Cobra, drying out. I will install a drain plug on each floorpan...but that won't keep the issue from arising again....and again.....and again
Very soon I will have the carpeting and bulkhead redone...will have the upholstery shop use marine carpet to eliminate the issue of wet regular carpet. When you drive one of these often, as I do, you have to be proactive...you WILL get wet from time to time, JD....it's just the "nature" (pun intended  ) of the beast, can't be avoided.
Despite all that, though, mine is NOT for sale 
Cheers!
