There's a slight possibility that it's the door weatherstripping, but you usually spot that the first time you hit it with the hose. Whatever it is, you can't go wrong sealing the windsield rubber anyway, because it'll inevitably start leaking someday. I used 3M Heavy Drip-Chek (yep, that's how they spell it) to fill the space under the outside outer edge of the windshield weatherstripping. Silicone would probably work too though. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
