Default HELP !!! My feet keep getting wet

I replaced the weather stripping on my doors and around the windsheild and I am still getting a ton of water leaking at the front of the door. It runs in right across the fuse panel cover (same area on the drivers side). I thought for sure the new rubber would do the trick because the new rubber looked %100 percent better than the old stuff. Plus, I can feel the difference in the way the doors shut (feeling the compresion of the rubber). I don't see anything else in that area that would cause the leak. Is it possible the seal around the windsheild (glass) itself is bad enough to allow this? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks

I went through this also, and it was in fact a leaky windshield seal. If water sits in the top of your windshield frame long enough, you will have rust forming there, and then you will have rusty water pouring down inside your car. :U
Don't put this repair off too long.

I second the windshield seal. I had that happen to me on a 911. You'll really want to replace that soon. There is really no stopping the water flow until you do that.

Thanks for the info guys :cheers: ...I kinda figured that might be the problem. The new weather stripping looks really good, so I just couldn't imagine it leaking.
