 Subject: Leaky truck!!!! water on floor
IP: Logged
Message:
K. finally got sick of always having a wet passenger floorboard, so i decided to take the interior out and find the leak.....well i found it...it is on the back of the cab, pass. side right under the bottom of the back window, the water comes in where the body is put together. All fine and dandy but i have no friggen way to get to the leak to fix it....so heres what i did and maybe this will help some of you other "leakers" out.....take the pass. side cab trim out thats besid the back seat, pull out toolbox, see where the wall meets the side..thats the leaky area, now heres what i did to fix it, get some expanding foam insulation, run a bead of this along the seam of the side on the floor to where the front seat mounts in the back to make a little dam. see the little spot that looks like it should be a drain? there is a low spot right in that area, drill through the metal with a 5/16 bit and make some holes in the floor, now all the water will follow the foam insul. and just go back out thru the holes i drilled, yes i know, shouldn't drill holes in my floor but oh well, it solves the water soaking my carpet problem.......

well tried to add more foam to seal up leak, didn't work, just makes water come from over where foam stops, oh well, guess the holes in the floor will have to do....
