Hello All,
So about 6 months ago I had my windshield replaced. I got into the truck after a heavy rainstorm one afternoon a few weeks ago and found a soaked headliner. I had the shop back out (safelite through my insurance) and they checked it out. They said that the sealant wasn’t compromised in any fashion, and that it’s impossible for it to leak. Knowing the sunroof drain issues these trucks have I believed the guy and let him on his merry way. Anyway, yesterday I took the headliner apart to get to the drain assembly (I had originally checked if it was clogged and it wasn’t). Everything checked out so I had a friend spray the roof. The water began leaking in the seam between the windshield and the frame (as pictured below). I know it seems pretty obvious that the windshield is leaking but is it possibly to be coming from another place? The reason for my hesitancy is that I did install aftermarket roof rails about a year ago. Wondering if they could be leaking into the roof of the truck and somehow making it’s way in at this point. Just want to make sure I get to the problem before I have safelite back out and redo everything. Let me know what you think. Thank you much
