- DETAILS:
Try this method to locate hard to find water or air leaks.
- Roll up all windows and set the blower on high.
- Set to fresh air mode.
- Cover the flow thru vents with duct tape (this will pressurize the vehicle).
- Obtain soapy bubble mixture (similar to the kind children use to blow bubbles).
- Place soapy bubble mixture over edges of window molding, sunroof, cowl area, wheel wells, etc.
A very small hole in a weld or sealer will quickly blow large bubbles about the size of a baseball. Do not forget that there are drain holes in quarter panels which must remain open. If they are have dust intrusion, install a piece of foam to allow water thru but slow down the dust. Use loose cell foam or a plastic pot scrubber.
