I've resealed around the entire windshield with Permatex RTV silicone in hopes of getting rid of this annoying interior water drip. So today its raining and I have water dripping in again.
Yes I know a proper windshield removal and new gasket, etc might cure it. But honestly I've gooped the entire exterior of my van and I still have drips.
I feel like it might have something to do with the sunroof drainage. Maybe a leak in the drain pipe that drains out near the front quarter panel.
Anyone have any insight as to where this water is coming from?
Thanks!

Clean and silicone the front of the roof gutter. You'll notice small hairline cracks in the old sealer around the seam and the water most likely is coming in through there (it was on mine, looked exactly like your wet pillars)

Have you looked through the "footwell leaks" guide in the reference section? Lots of leaky bits in there.
Maybe tape up the sunroof with duct tape temporarily and see if that cures it. You could also remove the A-pillar trim (it's easy enough) which might give you a better idea of where the water's coming from . Maybe.

Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

Of course, but I'll do it again .kyre wrote:Clean and silicone the front of the roof gutter. You'll notice small hairline cracks in the old sealer around the seam and the water most likely is coming in through there (it was on mine, looked exactly like your wet pillars)
Definately looked through the guide but I'll look at removing that trim. Thanks.Growlerbearnz wrote:Have you looked through the "footwell leaks" guide in the reference section? Lots of leaky bits in there.

I had an A pillar leak I couldn't locate... turned out to be the antenna mount.

Could very well be, I've just sealed around it. Thanks for the tip.sk66 wrote:I had an A pillar leak I couldn't locate... turned out to be the antenna mount.

Things are better. Ripped out the front sunroof, no leaks there. Also sealed the antenna mount and passenger side mirror mount. After doing that the drivers side A pillar leak is non existent.
But the passenger side A pillar still has some water running inside. I'll try sealing the gutter mount again. Fingers crossed.
