Re: Chasing leak
You might want to try to fix it the right way, and/or post the problem before rigging it with TV BS fixes...

Re: Chasing leak
I used it to coat my inner wheel wells and inner fenders... So far not too bad. I used it on part of my frame on accident by overspray and it isn't scratched off yet. Some area's have come off due to poor prep on my fault...

Re: Chasing leak
Through the wire loom? Seems odd. How would water be getting down there? Is the seal on the cowl in place? And i agree with franken. Do it right the first time and forget it.

Re: Chasing leak
Probably the kick panel gaskets. Then again, I had the same phantom leak and it turned out hat the corner of my windshield frame was rotted

Re: Chasing leak
steel doesn't let moisture come through it unless its rotted it is coming from somewhere above prolly in the cowl or where there is a hole in the firewall or something.... keep checking

Re: Chasing leak
Ok I took off the cowl and looked at every thing... So I poured water down the side and bam water ran right out the air vent.. I think I got it fixed... If not this time ,I'll just block it off..
