Body/Appearance/Interior / water leak in cab!!!
Well I finally got a chance to check deeper on my water leak. It's NOT the windshield or the hood release cable grommet. The only place that I coulf find that may be causing it is this seam on the cowl. Most of the seam sealer was missing. This car is rust free so there are no other holes and all the grommets are in good condition.

Engine Tech / 87 5.0 oil leak
Oil sending unit is the round thing behind the power steering pump next to the timing chain cover. You're looking dead at it in the vid.

Well,it's not the windshield or the grommet. Sealed all around that side and didn't slow the leak down at all. By sealed I used the same rubber seal as the windshield ribbon and did that whole corner. It's below the windshield but it's not the grommet either as you can see it in the vid.It leaks even when you spray below the windshield and never get the windshield wet so I guess I will be removing the front fender or inner wheel well to inspect further...  Glad I let this thing sit in the rain before I put the carpet back in...lol

That looks like a windshield seal. Try and localize it with the HOSE.

That's what I thought as well but dang if I can find it. That's what I have been doing. I got in the car and had the wife spray it with the hose to see where it was dripping from.

I have read somewhere that putting the carpet back is the truly hard part? I guess maybe tryng to get it under the radio stack area is kinda tricky? Havent  done this yet but its on my "to do list" ( as is much more lol)

Yeah the reinstall is gonna be fun....NOT!  lol

User Rides / Saved from the sper.. 88 Tbird
Thanks everyone! 

Update time... Finally got time to pull the carpet to check underneath and to give it a good cleaning. Apparently there was a leak on the drivers side somewhere or the door was left ajar. Carpet was damp underneath. Passenger side was dry. Still no major problems just a little surface rust to the exposed metal brace. Nothing some POR-15 won't take care of.

Now to get that nasty carpet all cleaned up....

Body/Appearance/Interior / Carpet removal 88 TBird ?????
Thanks guys!  Mine doesn't have the console,just the split bench with armrest.  Got the wife on one side and I on the other and we worked it side to side as we slid it backwards. Came right out.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Carpet removal 88 TBird ?????
Just curious if you guys have any advice on removing the carpet?  I have only dealt with removing the carpet from the Fox Mustangs I have owned and never a TBird/Cougar.
On the Mustang it's pretty simple as the center of the dash doesn't sit on the carpet but on this 88 Bird the dash sits right on the carpet.

Do I need to loosen the dash at the bottom retaining bolts or just carefully work it out from under the dash?

Any help is appreciated!

Do you want just the armrest pad or the entire armrest assembly. I will sell just the pads for $20 each plus shipping. I can not confirm that they will work on an 86 just because I am not familiar with that interior.

I need the entire assembly. I'll check mine today. They look close in the pics.
