Water leak

[John Borris]

Hi, I have a 1973 dart swinger and I have a leak at the windshield. It is not the windshield leaking nor is it the wiper pivots. Whenever it rains, I have a lot of water in both front foot wells. I was told it was the cowl drainage vents are plugged with crap.
Has anyone encountered this and how do you get at the drains without taking off the fenders?
Thanks
John

On non-A/C cars, you get some stuff out by reaching up through the fresh air vent boxes into the cowl area to remove some debris. I also use an air nozzle with a long tip to blow down through the outer louvers on the cowl to help unclog it. It's not always completely successful though. Good Luck!

@Oldmanmopar mentioned this not long ago.

My car does have a/c how do I get at the drain

Driver's side is the same. Passenger side is much tougher.

Is your 67-76 A-body windshield leaking ?

Check here. You can reach it in the car without removing the windshield. Not easy but can be done by someone with little arms and Belly. Watch the video
