I recently bought the car so i don't have historic knowledge of this issue.
I have a water leak at the outside corner of each side of the windshield. The leak is between the gasket and the A pillar base - not the gasket and the windshield.
When I pour water in the area where I am pointing, the water flows uninterrupted into the cabin just to the left of the parking brake. The same volume of water that is poured into the base of the windshield comes into the cabin immediately and doesn't get redirected anywhere. Same situation on both driver and passenger side.
I am reluctant to remove the windshield trim just to get a better view underneath the windshield gasket because I think the trim is held on with adhesive rather than clips.
Laying on the floorboard looking up inside the dash, I cannot see the leak or any daylight.
Could it be that the flange (sill) the windshield sits in is rusted out and causing the leak? Is this area supposed to drain to cowl and then the exterior of the car? Anybody have a photo of what's inside the cowl and how it drains?
The wiper pivots do not appear to be leaking or the cause.
Thanks for any help, I'm stumped.
