New member with problem
Hi, I am a new member to this forum. I have an '02 Grand Marquis. A day or two after the tornados that hit us here in Alabama (thank God my family was spared) I noticed the front and rear floor boards on the passenger side was full of water. We cleaned it up, dried it out and all was ok. This afternoon as I was starting to drive the car, I noticed once again that the same floor boards was wet. It had rained again Tuesday of this week. We cleaned it up and after a little looking, I poured a little water in the space just below the windshield wipers on the outside on the passenger side, this is where the water is coming in. I saw it hit my floorboard and pulled the glove box and noticed it dripping out of some kind of filter screen. does anyone have an idea on how I can fix this leak? Its is definitely not antifreeze. Thanks for your advice.

Well, welcome new member.
I think you have to provide a tad more information. And without knowing the history of car and the history of issues then: Buy a caulking gun and put some caulk where the hole is. |
I would if I new how to get to the hole, any suggestions on how to get the parts out from behind the glove box?

Got my problem fixed. A buddy of mine who is a mechanic came up from Florida and I asked him about it. He told me how to repair it. I removed the fresh air/vent fan motor, ran a wire down the drain hole from inside the housing for the motor. Evidently with so much rain from the tornados a lot of trash blew on the car causing the drain hole to clog making the water overflow into the fresh air intake.
