Passenger Side Floor Board Wet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know there was a link to this a while back, but I can't find it. It's not the heater core which is the obvious. It just leaked the other day when it was raining. Any ideas where to start looking?

CPNEJR · 11-18-2005, 01:51 PM

i'd say start looking at the gasket around the window cause i know that a lot of the time they leak on the passenger side and not the driver side.

It's a brand new winshield and gasket, but I'll look.

also check the cowl area sometimes it runs back down thur the firewall

fastwillie 696969 · 11-18-2005, 02:29 PM

have you pressure test the coolant system to make sure its not the heatercore ?

If it is brand new, it is most likely that. mine was brand new and leaked from every were used some flowable silicon and stop 85% of it, towel on the dash when it rains gets most of the rest of it. Could also be the cowl seal or the cowl vents. Mine would pool up on the dash and then drip thru the drain holes in the dash(wonder why the put those there the must have knew).
I also thought of painting the floor will rust stop and drilling a big drain hole in it (just kidding)

okay i might point out something stupid but forgive me have you checked the gasket on the antenta? they have been know to leak into the floor board

67ChevyRedneck · 11-18-2005, 03:25 PM

OR, is there an open hole for an old antenna?

76bonanza · 11-18-2005, 04:49 PM

Good point My PO just ran my antenna wire thru the hole in the cowl with no seal and it leaked some you should be able to see it from underneath. I just sealed my hole around the antenna with black windshield sealer.

I agree w/ this one also Brian, if not the windsheild check this area out,
it is real easy to have a rusted area under the cowl area that you may
never have seen that is leaking back into the rig, hope you figure it out.

5150 · 11-18-2005, 11:47 PM

I'll check the cowl. The body shop shaved up my antenna hole, so I don't think it's there, but I'll check under the cowl to see if the hole for the antenna wire is tstill there.

meathead95 · 11-19-2005, 11:41 AM

it may be the seal for the wiper motor

5150 · 11-19-2005, 02:24 PM

I think I fixed it. I was looking around the cowl and looked down inside and what yaknow, a hole where the antenna used to be. Sinced they shaved my antenna hole on the cowl, I never sealed the hole where the antenna comes into the cab. We'll see if that fixes it.

Thanks guys

Good to know, I had better check that out on GQ also

Tell your passenger to drink all the beer out of the cans before she throws them on the floor.

But it sounds like you have fixed the problem.
