RE: [T3] Water leaks?


I checked the drain hoses, took them off, blew through them, looked through
them...nothing really. I blew through the defrost/fresh air mech., all hoses
and got under the dash. I noticed the p.o. used silicone to apparently seal
the plastic fresh air "box" to the underside of the dash. 

This morning, more dripping water. It looks like I need to tear into the
dash to take a look @ things. The question is, has anybody had problems here
before? Is removing the fresh air box difficult? Is there a seal between it
and the body?

On a 69, remove the plastic cover and reach up and pull out the hoses one at
a 
time. It's best to have a bucket with you in case pulling off the hose
releases 
a gush of water.

They may be stuck so you may have to firmly pull them free. Don't glue them 
back in place.
