    Hi Team Tacoma World. I have a water leak at my windshield at the top of the windshield right where the drip channel meets the moulding.

    Can I use butyl tape here? What is recommended, besides taking it to windshield shop?

    We've never seen anything fix it, and the problems it causes usually cost more than the windshield.

    What does this mean? Starting leaking when the drip moulding flew off this year. The driver side flew off years ago and no leak.

    There's wiring and modules under the dash, and we see lots of issues with green death in connectors if left too long.

    Oh gotcha. I have glass coverage on my insurance. I will make an appointment with them to see if they can replace the windshield and moulding. Fortunately, the truck is garaged. Just took it through a brushless car wash and saw some water.
