: water has been appearing just where I don't want it, on my wiring under the dash, in the glove box (ruined my owners manual) but not on top of the dash, and not visable on carpet... just behind the dash! I'm confused, I imagine a window seal leak? but seals look good... any suggestions?

If you glove box is getting wet is probably leaking at the lower corners of the windshield. The seal can look good but still leak. Go to your local parts store and get a tube of special flowable silicone. CARFULLY take the chrome trim out and pull the seal back allowing the silicone to flow under. Do both the glass and frame side. Don't use to much .. when you put the trim piece back it will squeeze it out making a mess. I used dishwashing soap to help get the trim piece back in.

Not hard to do just don't get in a hurry. If you let the leak continue it can cause expensive damage including damaging your ECU.

Good Luck
