Default water!!!

alright well i know the vettes are famous for leaking..i've had my 04z for over 2 years now and not had a problem untill recently..last summer i had a 2 gauge pod..no leaks...this winter i put in a 3-gauge pod..

i noticed i've been having water drips going down the inside of my door lately when i wash the car..

today i was forced to drive the vette to work while it was raining out (not heavy)..than i noticed drips comen from my gauge pod...and i look at the top gauge n its dripping from it..so i pull out the gauge to find a nice size puddle underneath the gauge..

what do i do!!!?!? the weather stripping looks like its in good shape but it does come off easily..should i reglue it or apoxy?,sealant?..im not sure what is used for it...

go to a parts store, they sell weatherstrip adhesives.

3M brand; look for the black adhesive not the yellow crap.

Sounds like it could just be coming past the weatherstripping where it is not firmly attached.
