Uh-oh

Ive only had my cabby for a year now, one time after 3 days non stop torrential rain it decided to start dripping, but i thought nah its only a few drips and got in to drive it, one very wet ass

The usual place to leak, is where the main front seal above the windscreen meets the seals on the roof frame, about the only way is to wait until it rains and sit in, or get a friend to comtinuously pour water over the roof until it starts to leak, trial and error.

This is the common place for them to leak though.
