Default Front windshield and rear glass leak

Happy Friday!

When it rains hard I have a puddle on my mat in the trunk. I can see where the water is coming in. The more concerning leak is my front windshield over passenger side. It has discolored the headliner slightly and will drip during a heavy rain. Any fix to this other than replacing the glass?

Thanks,

The rear alpine windows are common leak points - easy enough to reseal with silicone (the factory seal dries out and rots). For the front leak, it's common to have leaks along the A pillars, but if the headliner is getting wet I might suspect the sunroof drains as the culprit. Anything leading you to suspect the windshield rather than the sunroof?

Thanks for the info.

I don't have a sunroof. Can I do the same with silicone on the front?

For the seal across the top of the windscreen, yes, you can seal with silicone. If the leak is near the corners, check this thread:

I also have a lot of water passenger side floor mat. When it rains hard, it is soaked. Any idea where this water is coming from?
