Finally...No More Water

[Mark Vogt]

Fellow Listers,
For what it's worth.....a couple of weeks ago I posted for help on the 
list about my '90 80 leaking and filling my front and rear floor with 
rainwater. Well, after the terrible rains of this past week in the 
Northeast I started bailing and tearing the soaked matting under the 
carpets out... replacing the passenger side rear window seal...replacing 
the windshield ..opening up the drivers door to check the plastic 
seal...and checking the fuse box seal...I finally found the problem and 
hope this will find it's way to the archives.
The culprit was the quarter-sized rubber plug/guide for the hood cable 
that sits just behind the drain at the side of the fuse box.When my new 
hood was replaced someone must have forced the plug thru the upper deck 
well leaving a direct drain for all the roof and windshield water to 
flow directly to the drivers side floor. Hope this helps future type 89 
Lloyd Bridges fans.
