Dear all,
I bought my 1966 Fastback 2 years ago, but I can't seem to find out why it's leaking water below the dash. It's not - I repeat, NOT - the cowl vent. I knew about this common issue and tested the cowl vent when I bought this Mustang. I've tested it again a couple of times now with bottles of water and even an endoscope camera: the cowls are in good shape (car was restored a few years ago).
So as a next step I had my windscreen re-installed by a local Mustang shop and I have no reason yet to question their work as they even sent me images of the project.
Still though, at a carwash water is leaking on both driver and passenger side. Where does it leak!?
I did notice some water running down the body behind the kick panel at the passenger side. No idea where it comes from though. On the driver's side the water leaks more in the center (as if coming directly from under the steering wheel area) as my rubber mat is wet on the top (so not coming from the kick panel).
Lastly, I did notice a bad seal between the cowl panel and the fender/A pillar. I did a water test again, but it stayed completely dry. However, do I need to apply new sealant here?
Thank you for all the suggestions.
I live in The Netherlands and my car stays in the garage when it rains, but I do want to go on some road trips without worrying too much about a bit of rain.
