Hi, I'd pull the trim off the windshield  soap the seal and go inside with an air line and find just where the leak is  .did they use the butyl rubber seal  or something  else ? If so maybe a little bit of lacquer  thinner might soften it up enough to seal. Just a  thought .jim

When the window was out did you get a chance to inspect the windshield frame for corrosion? Can you pinpoint the area of the leak?

Found leak rough spot in frame that seal didn't cover, I used clear flex seal and will recheck when dry. thx
