Had my windshield replaced (under full insurance coverage) by Safelite last
fall.  All was well until this spring.  Suddenly developed a whole list of
electrical problems (no radio, clock, trip computer, interior lights,
etc)--checked, and sure enough, passenger footwell soaked! Dried it all out
and removed the carpets and trim pieces.  Took a while but water was wicking
itself in along the passenger side of the windshield.  Good news is that
Safelite owned up to this protracted defect.  They replaced windshiled with
another new one and offered to pay for all necessary electrical
trouble-shooting.  I found the problem source almost immediately--the water
had caused a short-circuit in the diagnostic plugs--cleaned them up, replaced
blown fuse--all's well.
