Leaks

[tucsonjwt]

I thought I had fixed the water leaks in my 83 but I was wrong.

After the last steady rain I had water dripping off the bottom of the dash (lowest metal part) mostly on the driver's side. I had two puddles of water about an inch deep collected in the Huskyliners I have on the floor.

I had the windshield and rubber seal replaced at a discount shop about 2 years ago. I recently replaced the rubber rear hood seal with one from LMC, and also replaced the hood hinge pads with LMC parts.

Could it be that my cheap replacement parts have anything to do with the now very excessive leaks I have? I used to have a small leak on the passenger side -running down the outside of the kick panel, but now I have a flood.

Any ideas?

If I can't fix these leaks I think I will probably unload this beast.

If the windshield has been replaced, check the bottom of the wiper drip tray. Sometimes leaves an debris collect under the cowl and rot out the seam between it and the firewall creating a leak. The only other thing I can suggest is to wait for a dry day and have someone pour a steady stream of water from a bottle in different places while you're inside with a flashlight looking for where the water is coming in.
