Windshield Leak tip

If you are having trouble finding the entry point have a friend watch the inside while you spray the outside with a hose. If the water is entering the center window new seals are in order. If you still have trouble finding the entry point, this is going to sound a little nutty and your marina mates are never going to let you live it down. Spray the outside of the windshields down with a heavy coating of thick dish soap. A garden sprayer works well for this. Now the nutty part. Take a leaf blower and direct the forced air around the the inside of the windshield. Where the bubbles form on the outside is where the water entry point is. After everyone has finished with the yard work comments in your cockpit, they will marvel at your genius and leaf blowers will pop up every weekend for a month or two.

I have a 2000 3500 and I know my center windshield (the one that tilts out) leaks. Obviously it is a seal issue. Where can I get the seals at? I have looked at various places and tried to use some type of seals I found but it never quite seals it perfectly and continues to leak.
