Another leak.........

Post by oldsrider87 »

While i was messing around in the gxp yesterday i found that my back floor pan had water in it, could hear it when i stepped on carpet so i got seats, carpet and center console out and have found the sources, the front doors and 2 plugs?? 1 on each side in the rear floor pan. I know how to repair the door leaks thanks to the forums here :banana: but my question is, what is the best thing to seal these plugs with ?

The plugs he's talking about are the big round flat metal grommets in the floor pan. You can see the outlines of them in this picture:

I pulled up the gooey-backed foil sound deadener pad and covered the area with POR-15. That will do the trick. But you still need to fix any door leaks.
