FLOODING FRONT FLOOR

[dICKj]

I recently bought my first A body. It is sitting outside for the time being, and I've noticed that when it rains the driver side front floor gets very wet. Is there a "sweet spot" where I should start looking for the leak? Inside the cowl or around the windshield? Somewhere else?

try windshield wiper pivots, first. make sure the cowl is empty of all debris and drains are totally clear.

It's a 1974 Duster.

My 71 Duster had a windshield leak. Do a search on here for the correct type of sealer to use on the windshield if it comes down to that. If any old Joe Blow comes and replaces your windshield gasket, there is a good chance they won't be able to seal it if they're using the run of the mill sealant.
