Thread: Front Passenger Side Floorboard Flooded Out After Heavy Wet Snow Followed By Rain

Just picked up the upgraded deflector retrofit piece featured in the above tutorial - man what a rip off = $3.97! Including tax, plus complementary coffee and Christmas cookies at Brustulon GMC in Mystic, CT (used to also be a Pontiac dealer). Looks like an easy cheap fix for a BIG problem. Thanks to the poster of the tutorial!

Easy peasy! Hardest part of the job was getting the two plastic cowl retainer screws to come out. I ended up just grabbing the plastic sleeves the screws thread into with a pair of electrical cutting pliers (dikes) and extracting the sleeves along with the still installed screws tooth-pull style. Just shoved them back in on reassembly, might replace them with some drywall anchor screws with similar expanding sleeves.

As might be expected, the original bulb seal was completely detached and adrift under the cowl....
