Wet Feet!

[bustle]

I have had severe water influx (rainwater). RHS (passenger) front and back. Car was parked on fairly steep uphill slope during heavy rain storm. No evidence it came in through windows or doors. Have had it parked in severe rain before but level or slight downhill direction and never had an signs of water. I suspect through the heater box? Could there be a plugged drain hole in the heater box system? Any suggestions much appreciated. I want to dry it out before the snow flies.

Thanks in advance.

check the rubber pieces under the hood on that side, theres

a small shelf just below the windshield with a large rubbery thing

might leak...

also check inside under dash on passenger side, theres a rubbery

drain for the air conditioner, should go through the floor to outside.

might be leaking....

 

i had a 1967 mustang (what a piece of crap car that was)

the compartment air intake grill in front of the windshield didnt have

internal sides that were high enough, and if it rained heavy or you

turned suddenly, it would slosh over and drip right on your ankles

 

perhaps the squirrels or other rodents have clogged your drains in there?

 

seen windshield loose enough to let some water in. just re glued my windscreen in my ea82...

 

thats about all i can think of

I had suspected those rubber plugs, but mine are supple and in place. Also I use the Subaru as a tow behind the motor home in summer and we dusted it up under the hood pretty good on a gravel road into a campground. There was still lots of dust (and no mud) in that area. That's why I am leaning towards a heater box thing. I will check the AC hose. I can see it but I think I have to pull the rug out to ensure it is draining outside. Couldn't see any evidence of water on the dash so I think the windshield is O.K.
