I fixed mine and them got rid of it later.

I just used DAP outdoor window/door caulk but I had never heard about the acid causing corrosion.

I have the same 'wet carpet syndrome'. Anyone willing to do a quick 'how to' with pics on the panel removal part, i can do the caulking if i can get to the cold air intake of the air box.
Thx in advance.
PS: Thanks to the folks who contributed to this thread, it does help.

just cause the screws are all there doesn't mean that it's not leaking around the screws. i was in the middle of a carpet change/sound deadening job when i found the leak. i put some of the windshield sealant (3M) over the screw hole, ran a larger screw down into the hole, put some more sealant over the screw head, and then put a small patch of some sound deadener over the top of all of it. hell or be damned if it'll leak again. lol. anyhow, it's not a big job, there's a screw at each end of the black vented cowl section, and another 2 or 3 screws in the middle. it's a 3-section cowl cover. the ends hold down the middle section. and i think there's a little tab you can lift up on the wiper arms that allow the arms to pull off of the studs. probably take all of an hour for someone that's not too mechanically savvy, less if you're handy with tools.

My leak was defintely not from the screws it was the seal around the fresh air intake.

I think we may just get a break in the rain long enough to try this out this weekend. So if I do get the chance I will take some pics along the way.

I pulled off the cowl today and all of my screws were very loose. So I sealed all of the screws with some waterproof caulk. Now I have to wait for the rain to see if it is going to work or if I need to caulk the plate or not.

I had the same problem. I replaced the screws that were left out after having a windshield replaced. I seled them good and it doesn't leak now. I have another leak on the drivers side. Any ideas?

bass, my truck had a leak on the driver side too, turned out to be the sealant from the factory that had dried and cracked. up on top of the cowl, in the corner where the base of the windshield/cowl/firewall meets. next to the drivers side hood hinge attatchment. i know it's a pain, but pulling your carpet back and running some water over various places until it starts coming into the cab is probably the best way. i fought the same battles a while back when i replaced my carpet. found a couple leaks i didn't know i had.
