Taking on water in the interior

dman said

Thanks for the advice. Are the drain holes in front of the hood hinge? (as in between the hinge and the body) I just went out a looked and seen 3 holes on each side with leaves in them. found this thread too: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=233090

The leaves need to go, if I recall, there was only one on each end on mine (pictured). I used compressed air and a little water when I did mine, they were full of crap.

Those stove pipe riser thing a ma jiggers in the link is what I was talking about. Water can fill up in there and flow over the top of those. Could also be some holes around the base of them.

Best approach IMO is to clean it all really well first and then see where you're at.

When I did mine I used a piece of brake line attached to my little blow gun tool about 18" long. I pulled the squirters for the windshield washer too. I just kept going back and forth between drain hole, squirter hole and down through the slots in the cowl until it was spotless. Then I rinsed with water, NO LEAKS.
