OK.The gasket under the black thing wasn't in good shape so I put some spare rubber stripping in there,like weatherstripping.The black screws are a little loose though,stripped or something.Those 2 foam things looked like old beehives which is why I took them out!I'll put them back in.

Replying to: 99towncarexec (Dec 05, 2008 5:01 am) those long black screws press in-they're held in with these white plastic rectangular pieces that press into the body under the entire plastic piece-you won't get them too tight but you can make sure the white plastic pieces they go into are there and are doing their job. I replaced one that was cracked- I got it at the dealer- if the whole thing is tight water would tend to go over it rather than under it and into the fresh air vent-at least this is my theory- when I removed mine the foam gasket was loose so I reattached it.

That area seems good now.It's the rest of the car I'm looking to keep dry.Merry X-MAS!
#139 of 207 wet... by 99towncarexec Dec 10, 2008 (1:42 pm)
So I took the whole rug out to let it dry.The pad behind the brake/gas pedal is all wet too.I'm riding w/no rug right now.Seems to be coming from that front driver area somewhere.Any ideas???Back isn't wet,just driver side front floor gets a little water.

Replying to: 99towncarexec (Dec 10, 2008 1:42 pm) did you have the windshield resealed? Hows the rubber weatherstripping around the windshield?

Replying to: 99towncarexec (Dec 10, 2008 1:42 pm) what was it like to remove the entire carpet? what did you have to remove(seats, console) and did you need any special tools? How difficult was this?   thanks,   rk

Well fellas,they found the water running in from the hood release cable!Ralka,you said that was one possibility! Hopefully,that's the one and only leak.The pad was soaked so it's out and drying and will be glued back in .link title Actually,the carpet is kind of easy to remove.Back seat out,trim removed,front seats out and there you go.I'll admit that I had the body shop remove it because I don't have space or time to do that,but I did have the trim off and back seat out for a while myself.

Thanks man!If It wasn't found soon,I was getting to the trade it for a Caddy point!lol.It sure is weird driving around with no carpet in the car..Incidentally,the drain hose for the sunroof,if you have one,runs down the side by the hood release behind the trim.

Well,it was in fact the hood release cable thing where the water was coming in.Car is back together,back in my possession and it's like driving a new car!! I have new inner door weather stripping stuff if anybody's looking!!lol.
