Water Leak
 
I have a bad water leak coming down the firewall. I don't know if it is the t-tops or the wind shield but I want my car to drive in the rain so. Also is there a good way to look for leaks with a watering can or something?

Inside or outside firewall? Left side or right side? Was it in the rain already? Details please......

MrStiggy 10-09-2013 06:42 PM

Oh yeah... detail
 
The water leak was right near the clutch pedal, it leaked water striaght to the floor pan. The water was dripping straight down the firewall.

Is there any rust around the windshield / cowl? Has the windshield ever been replaced?

MrStiggy 10-09-2013 09:57 PM

There is very little surface rust. Very little just because the paint is original and sun has just ruined it but I think the window has never been replaced.

Welcome to the club, mine leaks too.

What year is the car and what part of the world has the car spent the majority of its life in?

How do the seals look?

I drove the Oregon coast a few months ago. Was nice.
