Re: Car wash = Wet carpet

who told you the carpet was up or that it was replaced in that truck????

don swap the carpet, seats and god knows whatever more from his green typhoon into the one i bought. you couldn't miss the big hole in the floor the size of a softball even if you were helen keller also the trim plates to the carpet were off on both sides, and the kick panels which, i was told that the ty was stolen and all the cladding and interior were out of it. thats why it had salvage on the title but its reconditioned now cause it says standard on my title. of course I wasn't told this when I handed over the $$ my fault should of carfaxed it or maybe asked??:tdown::rant:.

Re: Car wash = Wet carpet

If you sit in the drivers seat, the kick panel is below the dash at your feet, all the way to your left, just in front of the door. The plastic panel or "kick panel" is held in by 4 screws give or take and behind that is where I was told to look for the leak, and that is where I found it. It's what appears to be a large rubber inner tube patch with gooey s**t all around the edges that is where the leak was comign in, the gooey stuff was no longer holding the rubber over the hole, hence the leak. I have yet to "repair" it, just got some silicone on it at the moment. Going to replace the carpet and take care of the rust bubles, hopefully in the next few weeks and then see how the silicone is holding up and go from there.

Good Luck to you

Old thread, but figure I'd update it. about to pick up the truck from the paint shop and they traced the leaks to the hood release cable going thru the firewall, the foam rubber around the hood hinges, warped actuator vent in the pass sd kick panel. Both kick panel holes were sealed up.

Hopefully this solves all the leaks and I can get the carpet back in it:tup:

For sure, I had a few "helicopters" in there. No more parking under trees.
