Default Leak

Hi:

I replaced the weatherstripping all around the roof on my 85 because I was getting a leak when it rained. The leak drips inside the car just above the rocker panel. It then gets sucked up by the carpet on the bottom of the door. (Driver side). So I replaced the pilar stripping along and down the windshield. Same problem. Finally, I changed the weatherstripping on the door all around. You guessed it. Still leaks. There is no other weather stripping I can change in that area. I am however missing the windlace strips under the dash. Could that be it??? The leak seems to be coming from the very top corner of the door near the dash where there appears to be a good seal between the two pieces of weatherstrip. Any ideas? Thanks

Probably your drain tube in the front cowl is plugged. Do a search on here and you should find some info.
