So Today I began installing my new Longhorn interior into my Laramie. Not finished yet, it was a little harder than expected. I did run into a SNAG. I can't get one of the bolts out holding in the drivers seat.20180114_142205.jpg 20180114_145411.jpg 20180114_155551.jpg 20180114_215155.jpg
The middle seat is bolted to passanger seat. I had to un bolt middle seat to remove passanger seat.

Back seat is removed, switched over compartment lid to seat on right

As I was removing the back seat I came up on some water in my cabin under the speaker box. I never would have known had I not been doing this swap and removed speaker.

I can't for the life of me figure this out. I have a light interior and do NOT see any water stains any where.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING ???

The Longhorn seats on right have extra pig tail for heated seats. I have NO idea how I can hook those up, would need 2 switches. I would not know where to put them, I dont have middle console

U won't see any stains on the headliner. It runs down along the corners of the cab. Just trust me. Seal it up and get that carpet dried out or u will have mold. I did.

Water is coming from the rear brake light leaking around the seal[/QUOTWell you both were RIGHT. I had water coming from both places


I took a picture inside the brake light, looking left and right. You can see where the steam of water was.

This is what I origionally found! I like the fact that the carpet does not fit !!!
