Re: 91 Cherokee, water leak inside, HELP
Yeah, I have the same thing, but there's evidence that the rusting
started from the inside (and wasn't helped by the salt and humidity on
the outside).

Re: 91 Cherokee, water leak inside, HELP
My 93 was doing the same thing. I found that the heater box was leaking
around the foam seal between it and the firewall where the fan motor is.
Water ran down the drip rail right on the motor. Pull the carpet bact and
run water on the cowl watch for leaks. I was able to stop the leak with Duro
sealant by removing the fan motor, loosening the heater box then sealing
around the foam seal where the fan was.
