    There is a cowl area between the windshield and the engine compartment. As water runs off the windshield this water is supposed to drain out through special drains. Leaves and debris can clog up these drains so make sure they're clear.

    Gabe,
    did you ever figure out what the fix was to your rainwater leak? I am having the same problem and am very annoyed by it! The autobody shop wants me to bring it in for several days of "testing" but I hope to get some idea of the problem before doing that. Can you please email me if you have resolved the problem? akohler@interorealestate.com. thanks so much. Andrea
