well i got my trunk to stop leaking but i still get water on my driverside floor mat and in my passenger door and it creats rust at the bottom. how do i stop both of them?
pour a gallon of water in the cowls and see if it leaks inside. if it does you have a major problem. as for the door make sure any drain holes are open.
Cowls on these cars are notorious for rusting out. As Don stated, there are drains along the bottom of the doors just above the pinch weld. If you already have rust bubbling in the sheet metal, its a little too late to clean them now. Time to learn body work!!
cowl dont leak and ill look at the door drain tommorow. the water on my floor mat is coming from my break pedal. its leaking from the pad
You are probably correct there. Some cars came from the factory with a soft pedal option. It utilized a liquid filled pedal pad for more comfort while driving without shoes on. Hehehehehehehe Just joking with you. Sounds good though. The reason it drips off the brake pedal is that the cowel or windshield support has a hole rusted in it, or the windshield seal is bad. It runs down to the low spot, drips on the pedal mount, runs down the back side of the brake pedal and drips off the pad. You have a rust or seal problem somewhere. The hard part is going to be finding it. Poor water in the cowel first and if it does not leak in the car poor water over the bottom seal on the windshield and check. Keep doing this going higher on the car untill you find the leak. It is there you just have to find it.
LOL that's funny. I agree with what everyone else has said. Also, the floor on my '74 Grabber was damp for a few months. I got on here and started asking what the heck it could be. After verifying I didn't have any leaks anywhere, someone came up with the genius thought that my master cylinder may be going bad. Guess what? The dampness was brake fluid.
I may have been up for a day and a half straight right now, bit seems to me there is an echo in here.
its not the master cylinder the break fluid is good. and it is defently water and only leaks when it rains.
take a water hose and wet around the hood seal then windshield then work your way up on the sides of the windshield have someone inside with a light
