No, I found a little weed growing out of the carpet. Lucky me. I may have to
pull the whole dash apart to find where the leak is coming from. It's going into the cowl and dripping, or running I should say down the firewall in the right front corner. It's coming from behind the heater plenum. Doh! I guess I needed to replace the heater core anyway. It's clogged up so all I get from the heater is lukewarm air. -- Mark C.

Doesn't the main ECU harness enter through the firewall? I checked it and
theres a crack in the grommet but there's no water coming from it. I'll either have to pull the dash apart or remove the right front fender. I noticed a small crack between the firewall and the right inner fender apron under the hood. There's also another crack and a bit of distortion on the top of the apron more towards the front of the car making me suspect that there's been a fender bender in it's history and it's causing the leak between the cowl and the pax compartment. This is actually a common place for leaks in older mustangs where the factory gunk sealing the cowl starts to crack and allow water into the pax compartment. People often mis-diagnose this as being a leaky widshield seal. I've never pulled a fender on a 5.0. Is it more difficult than removing the dash? -- Mark C. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Depending on rust, etc... the fenders are easy, IMO... just scribe several places and keep {any} shims in order. Good time to close-inspect your door hinges while you're at it. -- - Yes, I'm a crusty old geezer curmudgeon.. deal with it! - |
