Hello, Guys! How's it going? I'm having problems with moisture getting to the inside. My windows have water on the inside and require a good wiping each day. There is a constant threat of mold or mildew due to Northern California's humidity level. Anyone know how to better seal up my truck or any products to keep moisture out?
Thanks in Advance,
Cody Biffel

Leaks around the front windshield are pretty common in older trucks. Is the carpeting in either foot well wet underneath? that's a good indication.

Also check the door seal to see if they're fully sealing. If you can get hold of a steam generator or fogger you can use it inside the cab to see where it comes out.

Never thought of using something to fog it out. Thanks, guys. Also, anyone know of a drying product.... dehumidifiers....that work good?

depending on how bad it is, DampRid. you can get it at Lowe's or WalMart. be sure to do something to keep it from tipping as you drive around or only keep it in the truck when it's parked. also dump the water from the bottom daily for best effect. when it's colder, using the AC with the heater on and recirc the air to dry it out. depending on what kind of time you have you could pull the seats and the carpets out to get it all dry initially. I flooded my '95 runner years ago and had to do that. Not much fun but gets you real acquainted with the assembly of your interior real fast.

carpets can hold alot of moisture . its work but i'd remove it on a nice sunny day and leave it out to dry well.wet rugs can make a little water leak seem big by holding moisture for long periods of time as in a little water today and a little a couple of days later etc etc can lead up to a really wet carpet that makes condensation on your windows every morning. wet rug can rot your floors out fast if not taken care of.not that any of this helped fix your leak but it mite be helpfull to you. another way of looking for leaks if you dont have a fogger is to soap up your whole cab (dish soap is great for this) , throw an air line in there with an open blow gun on it, close the door and look for bubbles.
