Oilsmoke Posted November 14, 2004 Report Posted November 14, 2004 OK here is the Story. One day my stereo quits on me, I check the power & ground there ok to the head unit. So I drop it off at the repair shop and a few hour I get a phone and they tell me it was major water damage. So I should get a new one. That when my light comes on. It rained here like 3 weeks straight and my dash leaks in the jeep. So what can cause this? Possibilities? Solutions? My thinking is the cowl rubber is 12 years old? But are there other causes? Quote
FireHead Posted November 14, 2004 Report Posted November 14, 2004 YOur windshiels is held in with a polyurethane adhesive (assuming it has never been replaced or fooled with). The adhesive breaks down and begins to leak after awhile. That could be it. It would seem to me that if you had major water damage under your dash that you would have noticd that your foot wells would have been full of water as well. Quote
boonman Posted November 14, 2004 Report Posted November 14, 2004 your foot wells would have been full of water as well. This is usually the case. But, I have seen Super Duty's that leak, and don't touch the floor... Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted November 14, 2004 Report Posted November 14, 2004 (edited) I bet the drain for the vent infront of the window between the hood is cloged. Get compressed air and blow it open. Edited November 14, 2004 by 2004LEBanshee Quote
Oilsmoke Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Posted November 15, 2004 Tell me about this vent drain? how do i get to it? inside or do i remove the vent cover? Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted November 15, 2004 Report Posted November 15, 2004 You should just be able to remove the cover. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Posted November 15, 2004 Just took the cover off and had a peek . Looks clean, I also removered the drian spout and it was clean so I need to look into the winsheild gasket? and cowl ribber are the only other way it can get water to the middle of tha Dash. You should just be able to remove the cover. 281050[/snapback] Quote
Oilsmoke Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Posted November 15, 2004 Firehead I get alittle water on the floor boards but I Durbak the inside or the whole tub. So i never worried about it. But under the flat dash the lower lips is like a J channel and can hold alittle water and runs out but both front speaker grills. it must be the windsheild gasket and the window frame is holding water and leaking inside of front dash steel plate in the center of the dash just above the stereo. Can i drill a drian hole? maybe on the sides Quote
