[s-cars] H2O foot forever

[Peter Schulz]

Bill:

Same here 
My go pedal foot would get wet when it rained.
Finally figured out that the top ride side of the heaterbox foam seal on the firewall side had pulled out or was never installed properly. - it was about 1/2 inch out of the box, and in the right situations, acted like a funnel.

I ended up creating a future headache but temporary fix by removing the heater box strap, pushing the gasked under the box on the firewall and gooping some caulk over the area.

Yes it will be some more work when I inevitably have to replace the heater core, but at least thats one job I don't have to do right now.
