In case it's not obvious, this is the fuse box area with the trim and rug removed. The classic and notorious Water Leak. If I could post more pics, you'd see that it goes all the way up to the white foam above the fuse box.

So I have the TSB and I've read all the threads, but just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to handle this when I take it in to the dealer. 24K miles, still in warranty.

Geez -this site really sucks for posting pics. I have the one working now, but it won't let me post anymore.

are you embedding pictures in the post or are you clicking the button that says image, then inserting an http image in between the words?

I'm embedding. It says 400 kb max, but it apparantly means 400 kb total for all pictures, not each. I don't understand how others on this forum embed more than one fairly large pic.

Anyway, don't want this post to be about my poor picture embedding skills. Anyone who has had the leak have any tips or advice?

Third time was the charm for me. The first two times I took it in was before the TSB. They must have been doing something right because it almost stopped the leak. The third time was after the TSB, and it was completely resolved.

5 time for me. I had the leak mostly on the passenger side, but it eventually made it to the drivers side as well. In addition to resealing areas within the cowl and over the transmission hump, they told me that there were revised windshield trim clips. They replaced the on both sides (That did fix my drivers side leak)



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:53 PM.
