Default If you have a water leak near the front kick panel.....

I wanted to share another repair that I did on my 92 ssei.
I noticed that during a good rain, I had water running down the right hand kick panel, just in front of the door.
Well there are small plastic corrugated style tubes that drain the sunroof area. They run down behind the windshield pillar and then down to the outside of the car somewhere. Mine had a small pinhole leak behind the windshield pillar.

I used a product called "coax seal" to stop the leak. Coax seal is a product that is sort of like a piece of black taffy. It is used in ham radio circles to seal up outdoor electrical connections. It worked great, has not leaked since.
