LISTEN for the Windscreen leak!
Ok I have yet to fix the leak but I believe I know where it actually is.
After overnight rain I went to the car that had been prepped with kitchen towel wedges in every suspected nook and cranny. Including around the now dried out carpets mentioned on another thread.
The only damp paper was hanging from the head trim right in front of my eyeline.
I poured some water into the ‘gutter’ generated by the glass and the rubber and watched the bead very slowly drop preferentially, about a foot inboard ……approx in-line with my soggy tissue observation.
So I started thumping gently the top of the windscreen glass with the heel of my hand.
LISTEN to the attached video…

(Appologies for the quality I am no Steven Spielberg**)
Also notice at the end of it, I created a bubble in the gutter and squeezed out some droplets onto the inside of the windscreen in the same position as the noise change and soggy tissue.
Methinks I’ve found the exact leak point….now can I seal it????]
Time for …..Captain Tolley’s Creeping Crack Cure.
** Those eagle eyed will no doubt spot the presence of the telltale droplets before I started thumping.
This was my “take2” ….after I fell off the ladder swearing profanely the first time I did it. That video was too funny and foul mouthed to grace this forum.

Your clever technique for finding the gap in the sealant would have been worth all the swearing, I'm remembering it in case my windscreen ever has a leak
Let's hope Cap'n Tolley with his one leg and a case of the creeping cracks can cure it
