In 2002 when I bought my TB, I took it in for the first oil change. the guy drove my TB out and said he was sorry that he couldn't wash it because of the windshield. I said there's nothing wrong with it but he then said it's cracked and he can't wash it. I looked at the windshield and I lost my cool. The windshield was cracked like a spiders web right down the center. I told the guy to drive it back in because the windshield was not cracked when I brought it in. Many four letter words were exchanged with the Service manager and they told me to go rent a car next door and they will replace the winshield.
I picked my TB up later that evening and all seemed well. My wife bought a new CUV and I began driving my TB a couple months ago. I strarted to notice a drip from above the rear view mirror every now and then so I asked my wife if she ever noticed that. She said it would drip every once in a while after a rain storm or wash. I took a close look at the outside seal and I was able to pull it right off. The guy who replaced my winshield in 2002 cut the rubber moulding off to get the winshield out and never replaced it. He laid a bead of silicone down in a few spots and pressed the cut seal in.
I removed the cut seal and the couple spots of silicone, cleaned the area and laid down a thick bead of new silicone and pressed the seal back down like the dealer did. Two days later, I washed the TB and no drips. Next week we had a torrencial downpour which is when I pulled into the parking lot at work. I sat there for a short time and all of a sudden, rain water began pouring down onto my stearing wheel.
And that's where I'm at now. I took the rails off the roof, cleaned everything and put down some silicone around all the screw holes and I put the rails back down making sure that all the screws were tight. A few days later, we had a storm and it seemed to be dry inside. During the next storm, the water began to drip in again.
I can't figure out where the water is coming from now.
