i followed your directions and successfully fixed the issue today. took the truck to the car wash to test it. no water drained after. the gutter wasnt as bad as yours. but it did have a business card in there lol thanks again

@michaeldextermonroe8548 Год назад

You Sir by far make the best videos for Titans. Thank You again for your time and efforts.

@donaldcurrence4903 3 месяца назад

Thank you, did mine a week ago. I was hoping to replace with a metal cowl but I guess they don't make such a thing. Yeah, telling my age. 😅

@fishguync6994 2 года назад

LOL. My 2006 Armada has the same problem. I am so glad I found your video. Great job!

@TallFamilyFilms 2 года назад

After doing this, there’s one other thing you should check. The piece of plastic at the bottom of the windshield the bridges the gap to the hood is called the cowl (The thing the windshield wipers poke through). Right where it connects with the windshield is supposed to be a little rubber strip that gets dried out, cracks, or is completely gone. If it’s gone, it lets too much water come down the windshield into the basin. You should get some weatherstripping from Home Depot that fills the void between the cowl and the windshield. There is an actual Nissan part for this but you don’t need that. The official name is hood Cowl extension panel seal. I bought mine on eBay for about $45. Genuine Nissan Titan Armada Hood Cowl Extension Panel Seal 66832-7S000. It is literally just a tiny piece of weatherstripping that is sticky on one side that sticks to the windshield. If you have a gap there, fixing the drain alone is not going to resolve this.

Great video! I’ll check under the cowl, but more thanks on the rubber strip! I saw mine blow off in a car wash a couple years ago lol

@@TallFamilyFilms Great info….Parts Manager@my Nissan dealer also said that. To replace both of those “plastic cowls” that have the rudder seals at the bottom is very expensive. No sunroof on my truck. Great job linking the “plastic clip removal set” on Amazon. Ordered it in 5 minutes. Great camera work and instructions. I watch it done, I usually can do it. .Thank you so much…worried about it.

same problem here. thanks boss great video

@TallFamilyFilms 5 месяцев назад

The problem might be a lot simpler. I found later that there is a strip of insulation that is supposed to go under the plastic cowl at the bottom of the windshield. in my case, the weather had pretty much destroyed it. So, water coming down the windshield would flood the compartment you see in this video. I went to Home Depot and got a very thin strip of insulation that was adhesive on one side. It is in the weatherstripping department. I stuck it to the windshield underneath the plastic and I’ve never had a problem since.

Hey man any advice for the 2 front windows not going down? when i press the switch u can hear a click sound but the windows just wont go down@@TallFamilyFilms

@chrisjacobs8879 Год назад

Thank you!!! Took my armada to replace the windshield and this started. After three trips to the dealership and the windshield place they still never fixed the problem saying it was the sunroof. Obviously NOT!!! Thank you 100x

Funny thing - I JUST replaced my windshield a week ago and I be got this problem again. This time I paid $3 at Home Depot instead of $45 at the dealer. 🤞

2021 Nissan Armada same problem

@TallFamilyFilms Год назад

Check the drains for sure. On mine, the insulation strip at the bottom of the windshield was gone. I just used the Home Depot insulation (1/4 x 3x8 I think. It’s the thinnest one they had. Draw a line on the windshield right at the cowl, Remove the cowl, and lay the insulation right under the line. I can’t speak to its longevity as I just did it. But it works.

The ac in the rear of my 09 qx56 isn't getting cold could it be the heater control valve under the hood?

@TallFamilyFilms 2 месяца назад

If it isn’t clicking, I would not think it’s a problem. But I wonder if you have a blend door that is stuck somewhere that controls air to the rear. Essentially, it’s just a plastic door that is opened or closed with a little motor called an actuator. These doors and actuators are prone to breaking. If the temperature doesn’t change when you press the button to activate the rear controls, then I would assume something is physically stuck or broken. Especially if the air in the front is cold.

@seibles1 2 месяца назад

The reason I said that was because in the winter I had to turn the valve manually under the hood because the gear had script out in order to get heat in the truck so now that I went back to are I'm thinking I may have to do that in reverse

@TallFamilyFilms 2 месяца назад

@@seibles1 I pulled all the gears out of that box under the hood to get my heat working as well and it never affected my AC. That was 5 years ago

@johndude262 Год назад

Would you use the same process for the Nissan Frontier

@TallFamilyFilms Год назад

All Nissans would be very similar. The most important part of this scenario is to make certain that water cannot run down the windshield and straight into the cowl. There should be a thin strip of insulation where the cowl meets the windshield that deflects the water so it runs off the sides a bit. Nissans over about 10 years or so will be missing that because it aged and broke.

@johndude262 Год назад

@@TallFamilyFilms thanks for the help. I am trying to find a leak on the driver's side. The carpet get soaked quite often.

@TallFamilyFilms Год назад

@@johndude262 start with a garden hose and only spray specific parts of a car, one of the time over several days until you figure out the actual place that causes the leak. Does this car have a sunroof? That’s a prime spot because there are small drains in the top when the sunroof is open to funnel water away it’s supposed to come out down behind the tires. But those lines get clogged. You can get really long drain cleaners on Amazon pretty cheap. If you just search Sunroof brush cleaner, it’ll probably come up. It’s like a pipe cleaner with a really long steel cable behind it.
