240 Wagon with water in passenger floor mat area 200 1989

Hi Phil,

Quite a lot of water came through, because if you look at the sheet metal under the cowl, it dumps right over the wiper motor grommet. Here's how I dealt with the leak.

Have a look at this grommet from the top. Of course, you will need to temporarily remove the wiper motor after disconnecting the linkage inside the car.

Check out how loose the grommet fits in the hole it is supposed to seal. I added a thin o-ring. Actually used the same o-ring you'd find in the automatic transmission overdrive solenoid -- the large one.







Then I ordered some replacement grommets p/n 1372215 and saw they were made differently, as I recall, but I keep checking for leaks in the repaired ones and don't find the need to use the new grommets yet. The o-ring hack is still working.
