Default Cab leak

5211 BT Cruiser. Driving in heavy rain noticed water drops in corner of cab roadside.
When dry looked at caulking and roof but could not see cracks. Any suggestions on figuring out where leak is coming from and spot to repair?

I'm not sure what the exact location of "corner of cab roadside" would be, but I'll describe a problem I had which may be useful.
On my 5270 BT Cruiser, after a heavy rain I noticed dampness in the floormat at the driver's feet. There was also wetness on the door panel near the armrest.
I took it to the dealer's repair shop and they diagnosed it as coming from the outside door mirror. That sounded a bit unusual to me, but he took it off and caulked it properly and that fixed the problem. I hope this helps.

Thanks that sounds like the same area. I'll try it.

Well....I had the same problem until it was solved by a jet spray at a truck wash.



Where the curved front meets the windshield there is a small black gasket. I took a round tool you use to put screening in a window or patio door to push it in. Then a very heavy bead of exterior clear silicone caulk was applied. Haven't had a leak since. I had the rain running down the inside of the upper left corner (drivers side) of the windshield.



My suggestion is to open all three cabinet doors and let the top dry out. When it's coming through the windshield, it's also leaking in the cabinet floor.


Wish I could post a photo for you but I can't figure out how to do that.
