Virginia Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's coming in when it rains around the fan blower. I found a write up several years ago from a member who took the blower out and cleaned and sanded the opening. I think he put a new gasket in or something. I don't remember. I've searched and searched for that write up and can't find it. Anybody else know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 there must be a dozen places over in that area for rain to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Yes, but I've actually seen it running down the firewall from under the fan while it was raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffK Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I found all my biggest leaks when I had the carpet and backing out, I covered the floor pans with sprinkled talcum powder. After a big evening thunderstorm followed the next morning with a good soaking with the water hose, I had nice little trails back to my leaks. I think Pete told me about that. My leaks were door seals, blower and the antenna grommet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't though about the antenna grommet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Do you have opening vent windows? That's where I get my leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the water running down the front of the footwell appearing to be coming from the blower motor housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't replicate it with the hose. after yanking out the hvac it was obvious where it was coming in. top corner in the image where the rust is. all of those arrows were leaks.

On your advice, I pulled that a long time ago. Sure heats that cab up though and makes it dodgy to put anything on the floor that might melt.
