zgeezer Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This is a common issue and there are several posts on this forum that address it; just do a search. Other than leaking at the corners of the windshield, here are some others. If you have air conditioning, check to make sure the water that condenses on the evaporator coils is directed outside the car. Early Z's with aftermarket A/C will often leak water onto the footwells. Finally, pull the louvered plate that covers the windshield wiper motor and mechanism. Note that on each end of that cavity drains into a small hole and then down a rubber drain onto the ground behind the fender. If these drains are plugged with debris... usually tree leafs- water will back up and rust out the seam. Water, then will enter the footwells through the seam. Hope this helps. g Hi, Can anyone help?.....

garvice Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 When you pull the louvered cowl panel, also check for screw holes. I checked all the usual parts that leak, but then realised a previous owner had tried to mount something inside the cabin and had screwed straight through the horizontal panel leaving small holes for the water to get in.
