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......

 

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?

 

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?

 

I live in the northwest, its lived in Oregon all of its life, It rains 10 months a year and I want to drive it in the rain. The car is a 1983 280zx

 

Mine's an 83 280ZX as well, but mines been in Dallas, Lubbock, and El Paso most of its life. I have rust at both where the windshield meets the top and hood...

How do the seals look?

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

 

The seals look alright
