We gotta leak in the GQ cab
Apart from the 'permission granted' gags, what is the root cause of leaks on both sides of the cab?
The ingress point of water in inclement weather is up under the dash, on both sides.
What have i missed here guys? A seam not properly sealed, a vent seal not sealing?
Anyone else had similar problems and how the feck do I solve it?

I found the corners of the windscreen glass had been cut too much. to fix it, I ran a bead of Black Sikaflex around the whole of the rubber.
It hasn't leaked since 2012.
I took my time to do it properly.
Clean the area with Prepsol and let it dry properly.
On the glass, run a line of masking tap about 10mm away from the rubber.
Along the edge of the curve of the rubber, run another line of tape.
Apply a thin bead of Sikaflex.
Use your gloved finger to force the sealant into the join. Be careful to take the excess away every few centimetres.
I found a light covering of turps on the glove makes it easier to remove the Sikaflex.
Repeat forcing the sealant in, and make it very thin along the tape.
Remove the tape immediately. Let the Sikaflexit dry overnight.
I don't know if it will make it harder to replace the windscreen in the future, though.
I also suggest taking a leak outside the car, as tangy asparagus doesn't really smell that good, Dude.
