Windscreen leaking?

[Colin M]

On the way to work this morning I noticed a few drops a water coming from the top of the windscreen onto the dashboard. It felt a little damp where the window meets the roof lining so it seems to not be fully sealed. Has anyone else had a similar issue before?

How long have you had the car? Has the windscreen been replaced before?

Never had this but some silicon sealant can be a cheap fix.

Thanks Guys, I have had the car for about 10 months. Not had the windscreen replaced since I have had it but may well have been in the past. There was only a couple of drops to be honest but still a bit worrying. I will check out the silicon sealant thanks Griffin.

To be honest silicone won't work very well. You would be better off getting the screen removed and refitted or get a new one fitted.

Silicone sealant works very well actually and is very low cost, having a new windscreen fitted isn't.

It is cheap, but identifying exactly where the leak is can be difficult and it can get quite messy trying to get silicone behind the headlining.
