Water issues

Post by sully5 »

Getting water leaking into the foot well of the 64. Seems to be coming from the inner door panel. I can see water trails down the bottom of the door after a hard rain and there seems to be a pretty significant amount of water. I always figured the water in these doors would be more likely to rinn down the outer door shell, not the inner. There were no seals around the inner door panel.

Anyone been through this issue?

There originally was a waterproof butcher paper shield inside the door behind the access panel held in place with tarry glue. It serves to deflect water flowing down the door into the weepholes down at the bottom. Check to make sure the weepholes are clear and if there isn't a shield behind the access panel, make one out of builders plastic. I wouldn't assume water would run down the outer or inner surfaces, as surface tension off the bottom of the glass can do all kinds of interesting things.
