ChiefRider is on a distinguished road
So after a thorough drying out and fully recharging the battery, it starts and runs fine- No apparent problems with any of the electronics. Very relieved about that!


My problem now goes back to the entry of water. As mentioned earlier, the windshield was replaced 5 or 6 weeks ago. I park on a level surface outdoors. Snow is always cleared off of the car, never allowed to remain and melt. We did have a driving rain during the time it has been parked. All windows were up, and I am confident no leaks originate there. I replaced an interior door seal last year to ensure no leaks.


The water seemed to pool in the drivers footwell, and heating/cooling while parked outside seems to have allowed the water to wick through the vehicle- It was quite wet in the battery compartment.


I never use the sunroof. I am thinking the windshield was improperly sealed, but could there be a related issue allowing water in, primarily on the drivers side?


Thanks!
