Re: Water leak on passenger side carpet 700 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Norm on  Mon Oct 1 15:45 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Winston..I just solved the leak issue on a 85 760 Turbo with Harrrison ATC Climate Control...it, too dripped plenty of water this summer but still soaked the padding and underlaying foam. The rubber grommet ring which surrounds the drip tube where it passed thru the firewall had started to cumble and the water was passing back thru and running down the inside firewall and under the carpet. The tube on these automatic temp control systems is only a hard pipe that barely sticks thru the firewall and exits just below the receiver drier (big silver tank)on an angle. I puttey-ed all around the grommet with silicone caulk outside and did it just above the inner carpet edge inside and it is finally dry. Be sure to dry out the inside fiberpad and foam mat. You will need to pull the front seat to remove heater extension tube to lift mat.

I think the grommet crumbles from the heat..so much for an american (General Motors) air conditioning system..they should have placed a small down spout tube on the engine compartment end.

Have Fun!
