Under dash leak(s) 140-160 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be shayne on  Thu Feb 27 08:10 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I'm fed up looking.
I have chased a rain leak under the dash for over a year now.
Brand new windshield and rubber gasket from Volvo on a 1969 145.
I have run bedding compound in there so many times I've lost count. My latest attempt (in full frustration mode) was to put a big ugly bead of urethane around the gasket ruining the neat, clean look of those brand new parts. Water is still coming in.
I'm going to put some butyl putty around the wiper posts from inside but my confidence is shot. When I pour 20 oz. of water down the air vent it all comes out the rockers like it's supposed to. My experience of chasing water leaks in Amazons is not helping here- Rain won't pour in like a the water from a garden hose and a hose cannot mimick the rain.
Grrr.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Shayne.
