    Leak under dash

    This is the point of all kinds of sheet metal damage , floors , kick , rocker etc etc. The cowl seal fails , rusts out and sends water careening down the firewall behind the insulation and under the carpet. I spent probably a 100 hours fixing all of the above damage caused by $3 .00 of seam...

    Inside Micrometer - Is this harbor freight unit worth a a darn?

    Ideas as to where this problem is coming from?

    Squarebody achilles heel. This comes from the cowl area on the outside of the vehicle right under the windshield wipers. You need to remove the hood , take off that plastic screen that attempts to keep leaves out and look down into those holes. There is a seam down there that the seam sealer...
