Dust and Water Leaks

DUST AND WATER LEAKS

Most dust and water leaks occur due to missing or mis-installed body sealer or components. The source of the leak is detected by:
- inspecting for a dust pattern or water path near and above the area in question.
- removing any trim or carpet in the general area of the leak.
- road testing or water-hose testing the vehicle.
- placing a bright light under the vehicle, removing any necessary trim or carpet and inspecting the interior of the body at joints and weld lines.
