Default A-Pillar water leak

Similar post in C5 general provided no clues.

Anybody with ideas about a leak on my 2004 C5 Coupe?

Under HARD acceleration, water comes out of the top of the A-pillar gasket - out through the aperture - this occurs with the window up or down.

Water squirts back from the A-pillar to about the middle of the door, getting the door handle and controls wet.

Any ideas on how to rectify the problem?

Thanks in advance, Barry.

Have you checked your udders? They may be clogged and the water that is retained in them is working its way back into the car. Do a search for how to clean your udders or you can PM SteveCT and ask him. I think he did a write-up on this.
