I was driving home from the mountains yesterday and ran through several Monsoons!!! Water was dripping steadily fron a spot above the parking brake on the drivers side and a spot on the passenger side equal in location. In a really bad down pour I even saw some dripping fom center dash on to the transmission tunnel. I don't have rust that I know of so I am thinking old body sealer gon bad? What say you??? I have to correct this problem. I shorted out the controller for my Gear vendors OD unit. 199.00 later.........:doah:
 
Windshield seal. I see evidence of of leakage from the inside of the windshield gasket in the corners.

Check yours. Best approach isn't to replace the gasket, but to pull it back a bit on the outside and shoot some urethane sealant in there. Preferably black. My window guy did it on my last replacement, cause i had leaks before. No leaks now!
 
I don't think it is the windshield but Ill look just the same.
 
My windshield leaks because the jackass from safelite was cutting reliefs through the gasket and cut all the way through the corners... Water drips in all the locations you mentioned.
 
A friend of mine felt it might be the cowl area and old sealer. He had the same issue. Time to do some investigating.
