Water Leaks

My 93 has water leaking into the cab and I am having trouble finding the leak.This is a SERIOUS problem because I live in Washington were it never stops raining. Has anyone else had the problem of their 1st generation leaking water into the cab? If so, where at? Thanks Paws.

Re:Water Leaks

My 92 leaked in from the front windshield gasket. Made a big mess. I took it to a windshield place and had them put some sealant around the gasket. They didn't take the windshield out but injected some black stuff in around the gasket some how.<br><br>No leaks for several years now. Also if you have a sliding rear window they can leak around the gasket also.<br><br>Jim

Check:<br>Cargo light<br>Vents in kick panels<br>Door gaskets and hinge pins<br>Front and rear window gaskets<br>Cowl area behind fenders (Look through gap between fender and door).

Re:Water Leaks

Steve G has a good list. The most common spots are the kick panels and the window gaskets.. Unfortunatly these rigs were not that waterproof from the get-go :<br><br>J-eh

Re:Water Leaks

The cabs also crack at the upper rear of the fender, underneath where it is closest to the windshield.Dodge even made a patch for it.Good luck. You have to pull the front bumper and fenders to fix this problem.
