Cowl Area Leaks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lobo'74 · 08-13-2003, 10:45 PM

In a post awhile ago I mentioned I thought my kick panel air vents leaked in a heavy rain. I was wrong.

It is actually leaking from the cowl area. The water is coming in at the top of the dashboard from the windshield area. It comes down the sides just aft of the kick panel vents. Rubber seal on the windshield appears ok. Hard to tell what is under the cowl, the screws holding it and the rubber cowl seal are both rusted in and painted over.

*Anyone know the size of those 'lil things so I can have them on hand after I strip the heads and have to drill/easy out them out?

*Anyone had this leak? Any way to fix it easily (now come on, quit laughin' so hard)?

Thanks for any help/ideas.
