How Does water get into a YJ windshield frame? I get a leak right over my Stereo when we get heavy rain. Once it shorted out my Pioneer Cd player. Did a few caulking jobs with black urethane but it still leaks on heavy rain days.
Tips or tricks welcome :puzzled:

It's almost definitely the cowl seal....

That's One of the areas I sealed with some good black urethane . OK I'll get a new one. Is there any other areas that need more attention? I sealed the channel & screws that hold down the soft top. And did a some in the rubber windsheild gasket lower lip across the glass.

Yes, the bottom of the cowl, directly below the cowl seal. This is where the body turns up to crease the area under the windshield frame. This is where my Jeep leaked and it would puddle on floorboards.
Although for the cowl, I dropped the windshield and used silicone to seal the instrument panel to the body it's sealed. if your cowl seal is old it will more then likely act like a sponge then a seal. Since the instrument panel isn't normally painted it usually rusts bad under the cowl seal.
