[V8] ... leaks ...

[Kneale Brownson]

HVAC well drain plugged?   Also, on my 200q20v, some jerk installed the
windshield a quarter inch too low many years ago, so the gap at the top of
the windshield began to leak because of the seal apparently shrinking with
age.  I got some of the goo used to install windshields and puttyknifed it
smooth and level with the chrome trim and rooflip.  That stopped the leaking.
