In 1999, I had a new windshield installed. Old seal was used, lots of
pucky put in it and the glass installed. Ever since, every time it
rained, water would drip on the carpet at the corners back at about the
back edge of the glove box. - both passenger and driver side. About two
months ago or so, a new windshield was installed, this time with a brand
new seal. The seating area for the new seal was cleaned throughly ......
I saw that. But I didn't see if any sealant was applied. Is sealant an
absolute must on a Vanagon whindhield and seal??

New windshield, new seal, same old drip. It is raining now as I write
this, and I have just been out to check, and there it was, wet spots on
the carpet. But I cannot see were it is coiming from. I reached up and
felt all around under the dash and got nothing but a little dry dust on
my hands. I gave the antenna a good going over ... the van is parked, so
if water is getting in there it's going to have to defiy gravity and
flow uphill.

Question: Is sealant an absolute must on a Vanagon windhield and seal
installation??

I am really puzzled with this. Anyone got any suggestions????
