I did all the metal work. No holes, everything was seam sealed as well? I noticed some water was coming in the windshied rubber at the bottom. Maybe that is where it all has come from? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,989 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,989 | If the windshield gasket is wet inside, it will find its way down either side to the kick panel area.

I had a gap in the sealant on my windshield install and it leaked at the center. Another shot of sealant fixed that up.
