Goodmorning All,
  Speaking of all this water...  As per the recommendations of this list, I
sealed, very well, with clear silicone, between my wind shield and the
rubber window seal.  I put a small screw driver in between the seal and the
glass creating a little void to stick the tube nozzle for the silicone in
and ran the whole perimeter of the bottom half of the wind shield.  I
started about 18 inches up the side and went right across the bottom to 18
inches up the other side.  This put a wonderful bead of silicone there.  I
smoothed it out with a wet finger and I was very pleased with the result.
Then...  it rained a few days later.  I still have a damp rug under the left
drivers foot! Where could it still possibly be coming from?  The only other
thing is the antenna.  I don't have the one that extends down through the
second supporting hole with the rubber seal there.  But this hole is facing
down...  Anyone have a suggestion or two?  I got to solve this one because I
just had the Van painted.  Thank you for your time.

Rich and Annemarie
