Default What do you know about that...

I was under the dash checking out my iPod interface which was making noise and found it was soaking wet. Apparently there is a leak somewhere under the dash. I think the guy who replace the windshield didn't do a very good job...

Well, anyways, while I was under there I pulled the cover on the cabin air filter, which the base roadster wasn't supposed to have installed, and what do you know - there was filter in there - pretty dirty and loaded with dead leaves... hm-m-m... got a new one and it popped right in.

Where exactly were you? I have a base roadster as well and did not see anything obvious, that I could pull on. The passenger side has a cover leaving nothing exposed and requires a phillips. Drivers side hemmed up as well???

Two philips screws hold a rubbery platform behind the glove compartment. When you drop that you expose the air filter housing. Do a search on this forum, I think someone once did a swap with pictures, at least they described it. It took five minutes - real easy!

Check out this link https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...t=23022&page=2 post #39. This is what I found when installing my new alarm siren it may be where your water came from.

IF you have dead leaves in your air filter, make sure you unscrew the base to the blower motor and clean it out. I can almost guarantee you it has junk in there.

Thanks. I'll do that. I pulled the iPod adapter - let it dry out and hit it with some tuner cleaner. I reinstalled it the next day and it worked great!

Haven't had time to check the leak...
