Default A frame water leak

Has anyone had leaks on the front A frames, Just got a new windshield installed and took it back got it tested and then removed and reinstalled, so far so good but was wondering if anyone else had experianced this??

The water was coming into the cab from the top bolt on the passanger side took the cover off and couldn't trace it anywhere.
Was kinda worried as I just install tweeters into the A arm covers

Can't say I've noticed any leaks on mine other than when the back half of the cab was all smashed up

had the exact same problem. I put some clear silicone on the outside in the groove between the w/shield and roof header, and it hasn't leaked since.

I have water coming in my truck but it's leaking from somewhere underneath the dash, below the windshield. I took it to two mechanics and neither one were able to fix it. I am glad you were able to get that leak taken care of, they are a pain to get fixed.

If it isn't an AC condensation leak then it just may appear to be coming from under the dash. I say that because my 06 water leak also looked very much as if it was coming from under the dash but was actually dropping down the A pillar into the dash and then to the floor mate. They found a porly sealed factory weld up in the top area of the door frame jam structure. With Florida rains I trusted it was fixed correctly since it never leaked again.
