Kick panel vents leak
My kick panel vents have a slow stream of water leaking from them when it rains. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Re: Kick panel vents leak
I had a truck so plugged it took a shop vac about 20 minutes per side to get all the crap out of them. You'll have to get creative with a stiff coat hanger or something similar to loosen the stuff up before it is empty. That's what I had to do anyway. Could only get my hand in so far.

Re: Kick panel vents leak
Here's a link so you can see the area that fills up with debris from the cowl vent.
The arrows in the photo show where the water drains past. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=721974 Blowing air from the bottom while vacuuming helps.
