i have a leak in my firewall and is leakin to under my carpet which now has a whole thro it.. can i take this to be fixed or how do i do it myself?...bodyshop..autoshop..etc?? thanks kyle
I had a pesky leak from somewhere under my windshield when I first bought my 71. Heres how I fixed it. First thing I would do is to pull the carpets. Theyll dry alot faster outside in the sun and it will be easier to see where the stream of water is coming from without them installed. Get in the car with a flashlight and have someone spray water on the winshield area. See if you can pinpoint the leak from under the dash. In my case, it was a body seam under the windshield that was never sealed properly from the factory. Once you determined where its coming from, go to an auto body supply house and get some urethane seam sealer. Dont use RTV or silicone type sealers. Make sure the area is good and dry and apply sealer to both sides of the leak.
Good question Jim. The way i read it, I just assumed it was a water leak. It could very well be a heater core too. Kyle, is it antifreeze or water?? Jason
On mine it was the seam of the firewall - and it was in a spot that I had to remove the fenders to seal. If its the heater core it will cost more, but be easier than removing fenders.
wow this really sucks never thought bought that....last time i drove it...before i started it up it was dry..then after about 10 miles of driving..this was a small creek under my floor mats..i cant tell if its antifreeze or water..every time i wash my car its there so its both to answer your question...please help i bought this car rust free...i dont wanna lose my floorboards and i dont have a shop so all this work is done outside...thanks guys kyle
