    E38 Resurrection - Leaky windscreen

    Hi All, gave the car a wash and noticed water running down smack in centre of front windscreen on the inside. Is the rubber weather weather strip essential for water tightness or do I have fault in the windscreen goo used at the edges? Have yet to install new rubber.
    Thanks John

    This is how the car looks .

    Towed to E38 forum. Weather strip has nothing to do with your leak. Windshield is glued.

    You have a sunroof? If somebody before you was changed a windscreen, the sunroof drains can be filled with adhesive, then water overfilling sunroof drains and coming inside interior.. Some years ago I had same problem, I had a headache maybe for half year while I found a problem sorry for my english
