    Leaking near windscreen support bracket??

    I have a series 3/Stage one that leaks water even when not raining!

    The water comes out on feet from behind the dash but also is splashed on the side of the heater control at the right of the steering wheel.'
    Water runs over the bolt that ties the windscreen to the bulk head.

    I cant see where the water is getting in. But it seems to be storing water somewhere as today after it rained yesterday the car was dry but driving water was ale to come out beside the heater controls??

    Any suggestions where to look and path to follow?

    When rebuilt in 2014 it never leaked - now it pours in.

    Does it have any holes drilled across the top where some "Dill" has put pop rivets or tech screws to attach a soft top at some stage?
    I have seen this done to a few when they have not had the correct piece to attach the front soft top loops to it.
    The windscreen frame is about the only cavity there that can hold water.

    Cheers, Mick.

    No holes - windscreen was clean when i rebuild truck few years back. Has had a slow roll on side with pressure on passenger roof. That may have disturbed something - cant see signs of any mivement but it did dent roof.

    Maybe i start with sealant on top where roof meets window frame.

    I need it fixed as computer f or engine is behind bottom dash on drivers side and gwtting wet not great

    The fact that your vehicle is "storing" water is an issue, as almost all of them leak water, and it always drains away.

    Good Luck.
    By the way, what is the "computer" for, what motor do you have in it?
    Some pics of it would be good to see.

    Cheers, Mick.
