Area B: Under Dash

1. Using a mechanic's mirror, look for signs of water leakage under the dash.





2. Check the cowl grommet for leaks by spraying water on it. Replace the grommet if it leaks. Apply sealer to the bottom side of the grommet during installation. Figure 14.

Note:
Only one grommet is located in an area where it may cause a water leak.



3. If water is leaking from the firewall, check for improperly seated studs, loose grommets, and cross-threaded bolts on the engine side of the firewall.

4. If necessary, remove the studs, clean the threads and reinstall. Remove cross-threaded or high bolts, retap holes and, if necessary, replace bolts. Be sure to apply sealer to the threads before installing the bolts. Finally, replace any loose grommets.

5. Remove the black plastic cowl vent, direct a stream of water at each stud and, if any leaks are found, apply sealer.
