Default Leaking windshield?

Noticed floor damp under driver floormat this morning on 2003 supercrew. Never ever seen before.

Ive read lots about leaking windshields and damaged gems though.....

Do the windshield seals just eventually go? This is new to me. I suppose getting it resealed is on order

They can around the A pillars on both sides. Mine leaked in front of the cab at the cad clip overlaps which were spot welded and silicon sealed. The silcon deteriorated so I welded the overlaps solid. Easy to get to with the fenders removed. If it's the pillars, I believe the winshield has to be removed and resealed with 3M window weld. Wish I took more pics, -



Protect that GEM, you can use plumbers putty or clay to surround an area to determine where it is leaking. After a denatured alcohol rub. That's easier to do with the fender removed as well.
