Well, I've been trying to find some leaks in my dart and I have found in the truck it has two pools, one by the gas filler where it meets the trunk floor and one just on the opposite side of the trunk, in front of the spare tire part of the pan. Also The driver side floor pan in front of the driver seat, slightly left of the brake pedal. And on the passenger side in front of the seat. I replaced the glass and seals when I did paint and it never sealed like it did before, of course when I got the car it leaked then too!

Front floor pan leaks are usually worn wiper pivot seals or rusted out cowl vent due to the drains being clogged.

Trunk leaks could be dried out trunk weatherstrip, but I would also look close at the metal on the bottom of the rear window. Rust can build up at the bottom of tge rear window to the point of holes.

Ok, I figured the front wiper seals, but where do I get these at? And what is the procedure for replacing them? And the back window is pretty gummed up in the corners with rust build up, maybe Ill look at how bad it is and decide weather or not to work with it.

I need to replace my wiper seals to! I can't seem to find them anywhere. My trunk leaks in the same spot as yours on the left side. The right side rusted right through already. I constantly clean the area (that trench like area) around the trunk seal from leaves building up this time of year. Combo with bad seals it leaks easily.

Cool. Don't seem like a bad price either.

These people are great to deal with. I got wiper pivot seals from them, and they misplaced a decmal point when charging my credit card. A few days later, they called me and told me what happened, and gave my card a full refund (not just a refund of the difference). They said it was for the inconvience. I did not even know about it, as I had not gotten a statement.
The kits works fine and has good directions.
