Windshield Leak tip
#22
My wife and I own a 2008 Tiara Sovran 4300. We boat on the Great Lakes. This will be our third season with the boat.

Last season we noticed water accumulating in the groove inside the front windshield forward on the dashboard. While sitting at the dock we wouldn't notice the water however when we took the boat out and as the boat got up on plane, the water that accumulated in the groove would spill out onto the dashboard making a mess across the dash. We started to have towels ready to catch the water when we went out.

I'm thinking the seal under the black rubber seal that goes around the exterior of the windshield might have failed?

I'm wondering if the thick dish soap trick might help pinpoint the source of the leak?

Once I locate the leak what options do I have to seal it back up?

Thanks,

John
