Message:		If you find that it "is" coming in from the roof. Try this to determine exactly the area. Also, while inspecting your gutter, look for cracked OLD sealer. This is probably where yours is leaking. You may want to dig that junk out and replace it. Have someone sit inside the cab while you SLOWLY pour water from a cup onto the gutters on the roof. Try not to overflow it over the edge, just let the water "fill" the gutter. Then, when you start seeing water come in, you will know the exact area. Don't use silicone; use a seam sealer made for this purpose, I think it is/was made by Norton, or 3M. Look on my CD and find the stuff I used in the floor repair section. You can buy it in a tube as well as a can. Hope this helps. PS mine did leak at the cowl seam that runs parallel with the floor. In other words, from left to right. But, when I had my dash out, I cleaned and resealed that area, and now it is fine. However, if your leak is coming from the roof area... that can't be your problem area because... water does not run uphill. Jim
