Another couple of possibilities ... Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Where is this water coming from? (not HCV) Windshield?, JohnK, Wed, 21 Mar 2001 18:20:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
On all of my 900s, I've had the same wet carpet with similar symptoms.
Look carefully the next time it happens to see if you have little drips down the lower left corner of the lower dash and on the black sill plate.
In addition to a windshield gasket leak these things can cause the dripping:
The stud that holds the left lower dash in is usually left unsealed. That's an easy source of leakage.
The seal around electrical connector in the firewall can leak.
I also found that my leaks are worse when the door gasket is out of its channel on the top of the door. The channel that it goes into is a perfect conduit for water of the door gasket isn't perfectly seated in it. Usually it pulls out of the channel when there's a hard freeze, too. The water runs down the channel and into the car around the U cross-section trim on the front of the door opening.
These leaks are no fun to track down. I also found that, if I park the car on a downslope, it doesn't leak on the drivers side.
Good luck. If you find something new, *please* let us all know about it.
Cheers
RS
