I have a water leak inside above the windshield right in the middle and comes through the headliner and drips into my drink tray... I have no idea where this water comes from , no sunroof but roofracks.. any idea where it is coming from .. When it rains it pours.. (sorry)Should I try and reseal the roofracks ,I have tried silicone on front of windsheild but no luck... Thanks.
 






I've got the same deal, but it leaks on the passenger side above the sunvisor. You'll need to have your windshield taken out and either replaced or reinstalled. Silicone on the outside won't work.
 






The glue sealant between the windshield frame and the windshield itself has a " hole " where the water creeps thru.

Take out the windshield, make sure to lay an even, thick bead around the frame and be sure that the windshield bumper stops are in the correct place. If they are incorrectly positioned, the glass will " slide down " out of position, making the glue stretch with it. This makes the glue thin and leaves a gap for water to creep into the headliner ...
 






thanks
