Silicon comes in lots of colors and non of it should be uses around the windows as a permanent fix. It can cause rust if left on long term.
The proper stuff is window urathane.

I dont think so. It looks to be coming from a loose grommet on the firewall. It hasnt rained in the past couple of days so maybe Ill go dump water on it to see if it still leaks.

lol ok, probably towards friday I will just to see if it leaks. Also I found out you cant buy that insulation under the carpet by itself. Im a little bummed about that but my carpet isnt in the best shape so I might as well swap it out.

if you can afford it I would say do not get the jute backing and instead go with a mass loaded vinyl instead. Its closed cell so it doesn't absorb water, performs better with noise and last longer. Down sides are that its heavier and costs more but I noticed a difference when I did it. Rather then getting a precut piece of carpet I just got an unbacked carpet and a can of spray adhesive and after cutting and taping the MLV to fit the floor I just glued it in directly do the MLV just like the stock carpet and jute are. I think I paid $30 for the carpet, and $10 for the glue so once the MLV was added in it was not all that much more expensive if I remember correctly. I used second skins luxery liner and would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a quieter ride.

If you take nothing else from this young Skywalker, rockauto sells the same carpet as everyone else (ACC) and it's a little cheaper. Be sure and opt for the mass backing.

thanks but can you get the links were he was acting smart for a sec and listing prices as well? Hell just delete it all I mean he wasn't adding to the post. Amazing one tool can make so much crap to clean up in a couple of weeks.
I appease the people.
Sorry, but i didnt really every comment here, but i saw that no one mentioned your heater core. So if you are still finding you carpet damp, might want to check the heater core. If its coolant.

I figured out that it was the grommet for the hood release cable was inside the car. It looks to have fixed it so far but thanks for posting man.
