My wife's Cobalt has been leaking on the passenger side for a long time. It would only leak when it was parked a certain way.
After MUCH consternation and all kinds of work, I believe I have actually found the source: When the car was assembled, the passenger side drip pan under the windshield had a little area at the outside bottom corner where the adhesive was missed. It's just a small area, but you can see that it missed about 1/8" in a little spot where metal to metal should have been sealed with this hard plastic sealant.....
My question is: I need to patch that up with something, but I'm not sure what kind of sealant to use. I'm not a fan of silicone. I find that it often fails after a few months, and I don't want to go through this all over again.
I'm thinking JB weld might could work. The guy at the auto parts store says emblem adhesive would work.
Any suggestions on the best stuff to use-so I'll never have to dive into this mess again??
