1996 XJ 4 door.
For about a year now.. been attempting to seal inside of the cowl (driver's side) with silicone.
Found the source inside the jeep. Leaking through the wall. suppose to be solid wall.
Inside Top left corner. about 1 inch down and in from absolute corner its rusted through.
Siliconed everything I could reach inside the cowl. (even removed the wipers to gain access)
Today. I discovered another drain inside the front of the cowl.. Bet its feeding the leak which is underneath. No way I can reach inside to apply silicone.
run out of knowledge and ability to see/investigate
Options
1) buy sealer with snake like tube.. spray inside area i cant see, hope I seal leak and dont cog the drain
2) drill hole from inside jeep into leak area... attempt to fill area inside cowl with silicone.
3) seal cowl at the hood. don't let water in there in first place.. small amount from wiper shouldn't do much. probably attempt to seal that up too. Any venting can be done through the drains which are clear.
Thanks any input is appreciated.
side note.. this was not the only leak I found. Everything was leaking. behind fuse box.. steering column(was pretty decent leak too).. passenger side HVAC (laughable jeep design.. pine needles caused water to drain into the open vent)
lets just say.. off the record.. whole front left of the jeep is ever so "slightly" tweaked. stupid tree(s)
