After driving my 70 roadster in the first rain storm since it was restored
I discovered that I have several leaks, mostly in the windshield. It seems
to be coming in between the glass and the glazing rubber. I did not replace
the glass, but I did install the windshield frame (a really fun job!). Can
the glazing rubber be removed with the winshield in place? I assume that I
need to place sealant up under the glazing rubber.
I also have a leak around the pedal box. Any other place that I should look
for typical leaks? I have checked the air vent drain and it is clear.
I also have a lot of heat on the drivers side foot well. I have installed
heat shielding on the floor with the foil side down but it is still pretty
warm. I assume it is coming from the exhaust. It looks like I probably need
to remove the carpeting and place heat shielding under it along the sill,
firewall and the tranny tunnel. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
