Hellooo
I have an issue when I park my truck in rainy weather and drive after couple of days, I find water inside the cabin on the passenger side footwell. The car computer is at this area so I am trying to solve it and identify where the water is leaking through to get to this area. Please advise . I will.also attach a picture for the windshield frame where I suspected a hole in it, but my friend is telling me that water doesn't leak from it I should look into somewhere else. I would appreciate your comments so.i can solve it
a common source for leaks in the footwells, passenger and driver side, is the gutter along the door opening, especially along the a-pillar. the factory seam sealer is now ancient, and dried out, so it is usually cracked. water wicks into the joint, and down the inner a-pillar, to be deposited on the ecu (passenger) and fuse panel (driver).
Thank you , if you have a picture of it would be helpful..and do you think.i can find it so I replace it.?
about the windshield chrome frame, fs.it ok to remove it and install it back and fix it with urethane ?
The windshield is one common source if leaks, the other is the vertical seam in the corner engine bay between the cowl and the engine bay. There should be photos in these links. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f115...thread-314582/ https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...s-side-312797/
My understanding is there are two windshield sizes for these rugs. One gets glued in then capped with the chrome trim, which always leaks, traps water, and rusts out the windshield frame. The other size, which I don't think was typical in the US, takes a one piece seal that was still available on ebay a couple years ago. Some people sand the glue-in windshield down so it will work with the one piece seal, which is less likely to cause rust.
thank you for the message I will look into the posted thread and check it ...
about the windshield chrome trim, can I just pull.it carefully apply urethane to fix it back
The problem is that I can't find the windshield chrome molding.. which part fits my 92 truck you think . The rubber one fits it so I replace the chrome one
