Getting the Wheeling Fever
I was fixing a small rust hole on the floorboard of my 4runner near the ecu and i noticed that the carpet was wet. I looked up to and noticed that water was coming in from the radio antenna grommet and another point above that but i could not see. I checked the drivers side of the truck and it seems like i have a leak there too. Any ideas? I think i remember reading that some seams under the cowl leak but im not sure. Any suggestions would be great thanks.

mine did that as well as cartermans. The windshield has rust in the channel that allows the rainwater to drip inside. The ECU got wet and required replacing on both our rigs. I wrapped my new one in a baggy and so far so good.
Reseal the windscreen also
