1974 Water Leak

[cruiserkreutz]

I've got a pretty bad water leak down by the right kick panel. I've replaced the door weatherstripping. I've felt around up above and don't feel anything. Anyone have any ideas?

It's a 55. they leak.
My wind shield lets water in in the lower corners and the water collects in that area.
I also have a few other areas water gets in and and since I park facing down hill, it collects there too. Good Luck.

I agree with windshield, I put silicone sealant on both lower corners. It leaked to the top of the dashboard and when full to the floor.

Also, the drip rails had low spots and water just flowed down and to the inside of the door and dripped.

Wait for the next rain storm and camp out in your 55 looking for drips

I agree with Doomer, they leak. Try looking under the cowl below the windshield. There are plenty of places water can get in and rust to attack.

Thats what happens when you get Old . Drill a drain hole under the cowl and seal the windshield with 3M flowable silicone .

What is the condition of your seam sealer along the drip rail?

Not bad. I think I'll start with some silicone in that corner of the windshield as suggested. Thank you.

Use the 3m flowable. Put on top of windshield gasket in corner and it will flow right in

The A pillar has an open seam that collects water via gravity.
I sealed this seam when I painted mine.
Somewhere in my build thread I posted a pic of this design "feature".
I will try to find it and post the pic here.
