Charlie B. Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 We had some serious rain here in Ct. over the week end and Ifound a lot of water on the drivers side floor. I had not been driving it, it seems to be a cowl leak, any one have any ideas on where to start looking and how to stop the leak.Charlie B.

Guest EDBSO Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I believe you are going to recover your headliner? If you have a sunroof you will find a rubber hose drain on each of the 4 corners of the sunroof. The front right of mine was disconnected. Could be your problem?You wouldn't have had that problem here. No rain! 12" of snow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie B. Posted November 18, 2002 Author Share Posted November 18, 2002 <span style="font-weight: bold">Robert</span> I find that I have two leakers, One is the Conv. I got in Texas,( the one you saw), And the other is the coupe with an aftermarket moonroof, I don't see any hoses or holes in the channel.

Guest Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 May be the REATTA leak (between the main glass and the vent-right where they intersect).Do you have water stains on the inside glass, on the arm rest or on the spaeker grill?Good luck-Epicure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Many convertible leaks are from the rear cowl. Open the back part of the top and raise the cowl/boot. You will notice the seal has a center channel for water and a drain. follow the drain. Also on each side, on the wheel hump, there is a "scupper" or channel to catch water and a drain hole. If any of your drains are plugged the water will run to the floor boards.The factory sunroof has four drains and that is pretty common for all sunroofs,If the drains are plugged or the hose has come off the fitting it will leak.Usually when the hose comes off, the headliner will be wet in the area of the drain.
