Water getting in at rear intake vent

Post by boab »

Hi
While working at engine yesterday heard a dripping noise at rear n/s corner ( was raining very heavily ) after checking it out the corner was very wet, traced it back to a drip coming in through the air vent, I have never noticed this before, has anyone else had this problem.

Or the seal off an old freezer which has this strip under the plastic - an excellent recycling method.

Here's a link to the one on mine - as Ralph says they are available off of a freezer & is a great idea or if you have no luck you can order them off of eBay & cut it down the middle:
