Windshield seal - Is it supposed to go all around or just overtop and sides?
Hey guys,
Trying to waterproof my trans AM and I've got a leak thats filling up the front driver(USA passenger) floor when it rains. I read somewhere that there's a seal that rots and can let the water in, but i dont know what its called. I also noticed my windshield rubber seal starts at one side goes around and over the top and down the other side, should this be a complete circyuit or just 3 sides of the windshield?

Thanks mate.
Do you know what the supposed seal is called between the firewall and outside world that would be causing water to pool under the front carpet?

i woul d check and make sure about the heater core or hose to the core. you might have a leak there. how often do you have water there is it all the time or just when it rains you might have to pull the carpet check everywhere before you start buying parts you dont need just to help keep the repair at min. cost

Thanks for that guys.
I'll check out the cowl well and go from there, it only happens when it rains so maybe thats it.
The heater is disconnected, not much use for it here in Oz.
I'm ordering all the targa seals and everything from hawks....along with my ls1 mount kit :P so i'll get it all back to shiny new in the roof section then see how it goes.
