Water Leak whenever it rains 700 1987

Yup, this one drove me crazy too.

But which left are you talking about? Drivers side or passenger's side?

If it's driver's side,

remove the kickpanel near your left foot, there is a small rectangular plastic insert, about 4-5 inches square. Mine leaked like a sieve. I could actually watch the water come in.

I put a bead of plumbers goop around the perimeter of each and it solved the problem. This also applies to the one on the passenger's side.

Now, another potential source on the passenger's side is the cover that goes over the heater blower inlet... do do this one, you need to remove the panel between the hood and the windshield (dunno what it's called) and put the plastic shield or water diverter or whatever it's called back in place using some kind of goop.

hope this helps.

Mike
