Just a query,I am trying to track down a leak that comes in to the footwell when it rains (Which isn't often!) Have heard this is common, sooo is it the window seal, or am I looking in the wrong spot!

Thanks

Most likely will be that the tubes that drain the plenum ( I think thats what its called ) under the wipers are blocked .

Hi Rowdy,

I have worse news for you...It is likely the plenum chamber drain tubes are blocked/perished. You will find them above the kickpanel on each side of your car. I think Rare Spares do replacement ones these days.

It is also very likely that

I'd give it better than even money odds that it's rust.

There is also a small chance that the cowl section under the bonnent may need resealing, particularly if the car has been sandblasted and resprayed at some stage.

Not to fussed just a farm ute, was thinkin if it was something simple, would fix it. If it is a rust problem, well just keep it shedded.Keep an eye on it, maybe one day it will be restored. Have been told the WB could be worth something in time to come...
