I know G2IC.com has an article on how to fix this in the Teg Tips, but was wondering if anyone had any more detailed info on how to do it. I already ordered the 8 plug things from Acura, but wanted to know how easy it was to do this. thx!

 

yes it is real easy, you take off the first cowl cover and the remove the lower cowl cover replace plugs and reistall everything

 

good luck.. you could have a leak inbetween my windshield.. thats what happened to me.. changed those things, used silicon sealant between the cowl and the metal, and had to seal up around the windshield.

all fixed.

 

almost all DA owners had this problem before
after you change all the white plastic seals make sure you use silcone to seel up the wiper cowl and eveything

 

I have the same problem on my DA DD, I never knew it was a common problem!
Anyone have any pics of these plugs?

 

the leak is from the bottom of the passenger side, right under the glove box area

 

yeah , you just replace ur old cracked rubber things with new ones, Its a little tuff because of the all the plastic protecting it but after youll be set for yrs

 

So do you have to take off your dash? I need to do this too.

 

For all you ppl who are too lazy to search g2ic as mentioned in the first post.

No, this is done on the exterior of your car, pop the hood, remove wiper blades, and wiper cowl. And rubber screws holding the cover over the passenger side airduct, remove those screws, and in the hole, will be the rubber boot you need to replace.

I can gurantee they will ALL be cracked to ****. Replace them and your golden for the next 10+ years, if you have any further questions, PM me.

hth

 

installed the new seals and used black sillicone sealant on EVERYTHING i'd make a write up of how to do everything, but my digital cam doesnt work right now

 

nah, i got the parts

so last night to test it, i dumped a gallon water bottle over my passenger side (near windshield wiper)

a few drops still seeped in...

what could be wrong???

do u guys sillicone seal the white cylinder thing with the metal clips under the glovebox too??? cause i think thats where the leak comes from

 

bump

 

Rained today and NO leaks... will have to see how it holds out against the really really heavy rain though, since a few drops get in when a gallon is poured onto the panel

 

Anyone have a writeup with pictures? I've seen a couple of other posts, but it's not the same thing.

Thanks.
