My 88 GL does this same thing. AND - I have serious leaking up front
too. Every time it rains the floorboards are soaked. I have tried
everything I know to identify the source, but not luck. It's got a new
seal installed by supposed glass professionals who do a whole lot of
windshields.

Any ideas?
