2006 Sentra, with ~113K on the odometer. Primarily used for local errands, not more than 4K miles a year.
At a times, I feel a water droplet on my right hand while driving and I could never find where that water was coming from, until the last week, when the wife took the car to work. She noticed a small droplet almost in the middle of the windshield. The headliner is dry. Other than the water droplet, absolutely nothing is wet to touch.
I have been suspicious of rubber around all the windows for a while but due to cost (with the age of the car), I am not really interested in spending much money (saving that for the next car, down 4-5 years).
I checked some YouTube videos and came across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0kqaMMd2Ec using Permatex liquid silicone. It seems like a quick and dirty job that may work for a couple of years. But I wonder if I want to do it correctly, like remove the windshield, clean the rust, replace the rubber, how much it may cost? Approx figure because I don't want to spend that money after 2 years, if this quick and dirty job doesn't work now.
I would love to know if anybody has another/better idea to fix it.
Possible leak location and water droplet location. The paint has bubbled in that area.
Thanks in advance.
