Water Leak?

[Dusty_GMT800]

The top of my headliner on the passenger side gets wet where it meets the windshield, at first thought it was a clogged sunroof drain but I unclogged the drain and it still gets wet, where else could the leak be from? Could it be from the top of the door seal? I also get a wet passenger floor when it rains, and have to identify that leak too.

Do you have an xm shark fin antenna up there?

 

[Dusty_GMT800]

I do, is that a possible spot? I thought it was the drain because it gets wet right where the headliner meets the plastic pillar.

They have leaked for some people, yes.

Is it possible that the leak is coming from the windshield seal? Did a little searching and it looks like some people hear a little wind noise when the seal is bad. My XM antenna is on the driver's side so I don't think the water would be coming from there

It is possible. I had a 2000 leak around the glass, but while the headliner absorbed some water, it also ran down the inside of the windshield. It was really obvious.

Will check the XM antenna, is there a guide to removing it or do you just pry the plastic off?

I'm leading towards the windshield seal. Could possibly leak down the pillar, behind the plastic, so you wouldn't notice. Maybe run a hose outside the passenger side of the windshield and see what happens. After you could drop your glivebox down to see if it's wet behind there.

You ever fix this? I’m having the same problem

 

[Dusty_GMT800]

Still searching around, I believe it is the windshield seal though, so going to try and get the windshield replaced when I am not too busy

Hey, just so you know I think I fixed my leak today. Part of the windshield seal at the bottom was missing right above the fresh air intake. I put a quick bead of silicone, waited couple hours and went through car wash and no leak. Going to do a nice job tomorrow along the whole windshield and should be good. You might not have to replace windshield just replace seal at bottom.....

Will definitely take a look at that, but since the water gets to my headliner I think it may be more than just the lower seal, glad you got yours fixed though!

Mine came to the headliner but only on very torrential down pour. I put a bead on the top of the windshield so hoping that’s good enough
