source of water leak (1 Viewer)

[jblueridge]

I have discovered that my BJ74 allows water to get in on the RH side while parked in the rain. It collects on the rubber floor mat but some also goes under the front drivers carpet on the door side.

I looked and felt all around for water up under the dashboard and detected none. I looked around the FRP roof and where the fold-down windshield meets the cowl. (PO laid on the black silicone here.) Still no evidence of leak.

Any likely areas I should check?

My HJ75 leaked along this seam (where the windshield folds) however a bead of clear silicone corrected the issue.

Your 75 looks awesome! I will inspect the silicone that is on the vehicle now more carefully?

Filled mine up with auto silicon as a precaution, but mine seeps through the windscreen rubber, and I also believe there may be water entering at the top front corners of drip rail and makes it way into pillars, but no dripping

Thanks....
The silicone worked for me. It hasn't leaked since.

Yep exactly where mine seeps, I have a crack in windscreen, so when I replace it, hopefully some sealant/ goo will be applied to rubber and frame to stop the water making it's way through .

I used flowable silicone on my old F150. Worked really well.
