    Hello, Pat.

    The previous owner had replaced the headliner, and that requires the removal of the windshield and back window. I am pretty sure that both the windshield and back window gaskets were replaced at that time. I can press my thumb nail into the rubber of the windshield gasket, which indicates that it is not old and hard, There are no visible cracks in either the windshield or back window gasket.

    I pumped silicone caulk into the big hole on the left side until it came out on the other side:

    I took off the right side trim and saw two holes at the corner of the windshield gasket, top and bottom.

    I pumped silicone caulk into the lower hole on the right side until it came out the hole on top.

    Then I re-installed the trim on the left. I pushed it onto the bottom, them pushed it onto the top windshield trim, and then onto the drip rail and secured it with the two screws:

    Then I re-attached the right trim:

    Yea! I will wash the car tomorrow and see if this corrected the leaks.

    I am doing my happy dance:
