I have been fighting a leaking windshield for a year now and it was an issue with the previous owner. We have stripped the headliner to expose the fiberglass ceiling. The leak appeared behind the fridge and once sealed it appeared on the starboard side. The yard thinks we got the windshield finally sealed but now the leak is creeping to the bow. It could be totally unrelated and a hatch leaking issue, but I havent seen a hatch leak prior to the yard. Someone mentioned about windshield frame/caulk weep holes and make sure they aren't covered up because water will get in the frames and has to escape. Has anyone dealt with this or can anyone confirm if there are weep holes in the windshield caulking?

I had a1997 31 Open and now a 2003 38 Open. Both center sections of the windshield (the openning section) had weep holes... I had to clean the ones on the 31 several times over the years I owned the boat. It solved the problem I was having
