        9 times outta 10 it's the windshield leaking at the corners.  Pull the windshield and the problem will be evident.  You will need to rebuild the lower lip that holds the windshield in.  Nice 3 ~ 4 day project that entails dash removal, metal work and body refinishing ! I've done a few of them here this year including my own '87 Westy, Rita kept complaining of wet feet, go figure !  I like to use POR-15 and Fiberglass matt to rebuild that lip rather than welding in new metal bits.
