RE: Water leaks into trunk and interior

[Willard Edison <waedison1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you. Very helpul and I'll do as you suggest. I think my old back is
going to get a workout under the dash on this one. I've been buying various
seals off of ebay as they come up, think I have some for the wiper pivots.
Are the clips readily available through a body shop or parts store?
Thanks/Butch

under the dash, check the wiper pivots. and the clips that hold your
windshield trim can rust out, and cause leaks. and then there's the  
dreaded
cowl vent under the windshield, alot of crap can accumulate in there
and cause rust, also check the drain holes in your doors.
