Today's update. I've cleaned everything up so am waiting for all surfaces to dry so I can hit them with seam sealer on the metal seams and silicon around the one suspect rubber grommet where the wire bundle goes through the firewall below the cowl bottom.. I'm amazed how good of condition this...

Good string, thanks for sharing. I saw the factory update from back in the day that essentially said to seal everything you can see, so that's what I'm doing this afternoon including the pinch weld that goes the width of the cab and anything else that is remotely close to the passenger side...

TJ, I'm hoping to avoid doing that, going to seal everything else I can easily reach first, but if I still have the issue there's only one place left to look and that's in that enclosed area you can't see or access.

If the sealing I do today doesn't fix the issue, I'm considering cutting a replaceable top out of the passenger cowl over the windshield wiper mechanics so i can see what's going on in there.

yes, good suggestion but I took off all trim and hit it with water pretty hard and no leaks around windshield.

Yes, checked that and they are in fine shape. Most of this truck is in excellent condition, previous owner took great care of her.

Continuing to try to track down why I'm getting water in passenger floor on my 1999 Prerunner when it rains hard, I'm about 10 hours into trying to figure it out and am not any closer now than when I started. Anyone have issues with water getting in around the seals on these two things that go...

You're probably right. There's a skinny black wire or tube that goes alongside the plastic tube. So, i'm still stumped and no one seems to know what the answer to the question is. Where's the damn drain hose for the passenger side of the cowl?

This looks like it might be the drain inside the fender. if it is, compressed air won't go through it so it's either severely clogged up or it has a one way valve on it. Looks like I'll have to take off fender to get at it on bottom of cowl.

That's helpful. Gotta do the Valentine thing tonight but I'll check that out tomorrow. Thanks!

I can send you a pic of the molding removed and my carpet getting dried out by a space heater. I'm tempted to cut an access hole in the top of the cowl then fabricate a replacement piece that can be removed the next time this happens.

I've been looking for some too, front pretty easy to find, rear not so much. OEM ones are stupid expensive.

Need help with my 1999 Pre-runner. It's in really good condition for its age. I've checked in other posts here and searched via google and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for to my question: where does the passenger side cowl water drain exit? I have the windshield wipers off and...

Rock62, i'm not concerned with the load rating of the bolts. I typically use Grade 8 bolts for most things even though it's overkill. Regardless, I've already put the truck back together and taken it over to local shop to do an alignment.
