Leak - Driver Side Floor?
Posted: Mon May 11, 2020 6:21 am
Hey folks,
We have a 2003 24RB. I noticed a new leak this week by the drivers feet. The carpet underneath the drivers floor mat was wet I pulled it up to dry and the pad underneath is really wet too. I think this carpet is normally glued down but the glue is all dried up from age. The under pad looks like cotton with foil on the top and bottom - but the foil peels off easy and the pad is soaked.
Anyone ever have a similar issue? At first I thought it might be coming in from the engine dog house? But I have not explored it yet. Some other random internet posts mentioned leaks in the firewall or maybe a plugged AC compressor drain? Let me know if you have had any similar issues with water by the drivers feet.
I am thinking of pulling the front seats and replacing the carpet (since it is getting old), but don't want to do that until I find the source of this water. We have plans to replace the rear carpet too.
Any insights would be great!
FYI - I had some water issues in the past with our Born Free with the seals but I have replaced them in the front and for the past 2 years no new issues, you can see some details about that work on the forum at this link (https://www.bornfreervclub.org/bulletin ... f=4&t=6130)
