You might want to try to fix it the right way, and/or post the problem before rigging it with TV BS fixes...

I used it to coat my inner wheel wells and inner fenders... So far not too bad. I used it on part of my frame on accident by overspray and it isn't scratched off yet. Some area's have come off due to poor prep on my fault...

I have a leak some where by my vent. .. and it could be coming throw my wire loom from door to can. .

Re: Chasing leak
 
Through the wire loom? Seems odd. How would water be getting down there? Is the seal on the cowl in place? And i agree with franken. Do it right the first time and forget it.

I took passenger kick panel off it looks fine.. basically just going to start pouring some water down the front and side, hopefully see where it's coming from..

Probably the kick panel gaskets. Then again, I had the same phantom leak and it turned out hat the corner of my windshield frame was rotted

I left it outside in the snow so I can see a leak and this is what I end up with. .some how moister is getting drawn up through the floor pans... any one ever see this happen ..http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/...102_181708.jpg

the other side is bone dry. .

How can I fix it.. Can I just use some rust prevention paint

Re: Chasing leak
 
steel doesn't let moisture come through it unless its rotted it is coming from somewhere above prolly in the cowl or where there is a hole in the firewall or something.... keep checking

open the hood and look at the cowl area. anywhere that crap and water can sit

iceship 01-03-2014 11:14 PM

Re: Chasing leak
 
Ok I took off the cowl and looked at every thing... So I poured water down the side and bam water ran right out the air vent.. I think I got it fixed... If not this time ,I'll just block it off..
