Procedure A

1. Position the cowl cover so its weather strip contacts the windshield all the way across. If the cowl cover is not attached with screws and the cowl cover can't be adjusted so its weather strip contacts the windshield all the way across, refer to Technical Service Bulletin 23-61-95, dated 10/27/95.

2. Adjust the hood to get 5 mm - 3 mm (3/16 - 1/8 in.) gaps between the front fenders to hood and hood to cowl cover. Loosening the hood to hood hinge bolts will allow the hood to be repositioned to achieve the required gaps. The correct torque for the hood to hood hinge bolts is 11.3 - 15.8 Nm (100 - 140 in. lbs.).

3. Adjust the hood so that it is flush to 1.5 mm (1/16 in.) under flush to the fender and cowl cover. Loosening the hood hinge to fender bolts will allow the hood to be repositioned to achieve the required flushness and ensure the cowl cover weatherstrip contacts the hood all the way across. The correct torque for the hood hinge to fender bolts is 9.6 - 13.6 Nm (85 - 125 in. lbs.).

4. Remove any restriction(s) effecting the ability of the wiper module drain tubes to flow water, i.e. kinks, tie straps too tight, foreign material in tubes, etc.

5. Ensure the wiper module drain tubes (2) are fully seated on the module spouts.

6. Remove any restriction(s) effecting the ability of the lower plenum drain hose flow water.

7. Ensure the lower plenum drain hose and grommet are seated.

8. With the engine running and HVAC blower set to the High speed position, spray water at less than 10 psi on the base of the windshield and cowl cover area at a rate that would be equivalent to approximately 20 in. of water per hour for 10 minutes. If water leaks from the HVAC onto the passenger side floor after ensuring proper hood/cowl cover fits and the drains are functioning properly, perform Procedure B.
