[DeTomaso] Water in glove box

[The Goyaniuks]

In early cars, I believe there was a fresh air "tube" or cylinder that was installed in the passenger side cowl vent "tub".  In addition there is a water drain in the cowl vent "tub".  In the event of a crack or corrosion in the weld that attaches these items ... it could be the source of the leak.

  Dolomites are beautiful.
  On my car (2467) it's the lower windshield seal leaking that fills up
  the glove box.
  It rains in Seattle.
  FYI.

  Hi, every time I wash my Pantera (71 model) I was finding front right
  carpet
  getting wet in the foot area.
  Last time I happened to open glove box after the wash and it was
  totally
  filled with water!
  Driver side seems to stay dry.
  This is not even pressure wash, just regular wash without crazy
  spraying
  around the door frames etc...
  I guess it must somehow come in through the front went holes behind the
  hood?
  It seems that when I washed the car parked slightly nose up it stayed
  dry.
  Also, recently got caught in heavy rain, but did not really get water
  inside; maybe when car moves it drains different way...?
  Did anyone have a similar problem and any suggestions where to look/how
  to
  fix?
  Also, my wipers work just on second speed; on first nothing happens.
  Would
  that likely be a switch issue or it could be that they are wired wrong?
  Thanks, Robert
  PS. A nice photo from recent drive over Dolomites...just trying to pull
  out
  front fender lip a bit :)
