Re: Passenger footwell rain leak

I don't have a working camera at the moment, but the screws that I sealed were on the ends of the center cowl piece. If you remove the end cowl piece it will expose two screws that holds down the center piece. One of those screws was long enough that it went through the open area under the cowl. That is where I put silicone and replaced the screw. In my case that stopped what little water I was seeing.

OK so in your case the leakage was caused by water dripping past the screw, and then directly into the HVAC intake box located below the blank panel (the one that is sealed with seam sealer)?

thanks,

Re: Passenger footwell rain leak

I figured out how the leaking screw hole can cause leakage into the cab after messing around with some trucks at the junkyard and removing the blank panel that sits over the HVAC inlet (the one that's secure to the cowl with seam sealer).

PLugging the screw hole fixed the problem. Thanks everyone for their help!
