12/12/07: Testing of AC...problem with water passing through AC units!!!

I have never before had this happen I have been in contact with the importer, & the manufacturer of these specific AC units, an independent thermoelectric engineer, and another Thermoelectric manufacturer. The input I got from the two latter sources recommended doing whatever is needed to PERMANENTLY seal these holes allowing the expansion and contraction. I am awaiting feedback from HI-COOL the manufacturer of the AC units I am using in your cabinet . These are the same ones I have used for years ????

The pictures below show a 'successful' test along with detailed close-up photos of design elements used to get SATISFACTORY results

Below are photos showing steps I am taking to fix the passing through of water. Also is the basis for why I am doing what I am doing.

Water passing through the AC unit to the underside  is caused by hole drilled by manufacturer for wirings to 'pass through'. If AC units used in a vertical position these holes will not have any effect. When AC is mounted on its back [horizontally] as in my installations these holes ARE the source of water passing thru in my opinion, and I am sealing them and re-routing the wires externally.
