Well I had been very happy about the water tightness of my car after replacing so many of the seals. But tonight it was hammering rain and I felt a drip on my leg. It was coming from somewhere around the front trunk latch pull. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

The only thing I could think of is the seal around the windshield.

Any thoughts on what to check? I think I am pulling off the windshield chrome.

I'd squirt a hose only on the trunk seal, not the windshield. . flood it exactly as it was when it was pouring. . Open hood and look above drives pedal area where you felt the drip. . if you don't visually see anything, wipe it with a Kleenex. . which will pick up any trace water amount.
Are your drains on the air vent opening connected and not plugged up?
If it's leaking at the windshield glass, it would have to overcome the height of the inside sealing lip. . or have found a rust hole. .
