Re: [DML] My MCD Still leaking water

["Jerry" <jlharry@xxxx>]

Jason;
Had the same problem tried the same fix got the same results. The problem
on mine was the out side air vent.
In front of the rider side wind shield there is a large open well about 3
x4" or so which has a drain hole in the bottom. This drain hole can get
plugged with just one leaf, (has a tube on it that could also be a problem,)
then when it rains the well will fill with water and it will enter the air
inlet and fill up the rider side floor. The air inlet is closer to the top
on the out side edge of this well, it is hard to see. 
Remove the gill across the front just below the wind shield and you can see
all this really well. When the well is not plugged the water comes in but
runs out the drain and there is no problem. 
Pour some water in that well and look and see if it comes right out the
bottom below the car, if not, something is plugged. Pour a little more and
your floor will be wet again. 
I made a long copper (1/4"copper) tube that fits on my air compressor so I
can blow that well out really easy without removing the gill. I think a
screen installed over the opening to keep trash out would be a better fix.
Yours in the hobby

A few monhs ago I asked some advice on my D's passenger side floor pan that
had about a gallon of water from a recent rain/snow storm.
