I watched with disbelief as water leaked through the top plastic plug on the driver side grab handle. Where is it coming from?

Same thing happens on my A-pillar...I havent tracked it down yet thought. Only happens if its POURING. Or if the truck has been sitting in the rain allowing water to run down towards the windshield off the roof.

Do you have a sun roof? If you do then your drain tubes are stopped up. i had that happen to me about a month after i got my truck. just blow them out with an air hose. If not it may be the seal on your windshield.

Have to take in anyway. I'll let them know and see what they say. Looks like the windshield is the culprit.
