Just looking for some opinions...I have a leak on the pass side. If I look up under the dash I can see where it's dripping from. It drips from where the vinyl ends from the headliner, kinda next to the dash. I can't see it leaking from around the windshield seal so I was thinking it might be coming in from the antenna or vent opening or...?? Any ideas on where to start?

i had a 76 jaguar that was leaking water through that vent. the way i found it was i plugged up that vent and ran water all around the area and it didn't leak then i uncovered the vent and let the water hose run in it and it leaked. hope this helps.

if you can lift up the seal on the outside you should be able to stick the end of some caulking in and squeeze some in there. that is how the windshield guys do it anyway.

Thanks guys. I think I found the problem... where the windshield gasket comes together at the bottom of the windshield is separated just a bit. called around to see about getting it replaced and the gasket locally is $57.75 and $125 to remove and reinstall the windshield 8O I had no idea it would be that much so I'm thinking a little black silicone might do it for now. any thoughts??
