Default Windscreen leak

I cant find the leak on my car. The windscreen is the only thing I havent tried but suddenly nobody can get one and no one will reseal it for fear it breaks on removal. Is there anyway to seal it without removal I can try? I cant afford Rimmers, and even if I could wouldnt pay their price for fear it isnt that. Taping the screen over didnt work as water runs behind it from the roof bar things!

Many here have had success with that. Just keep applying it every 4 hours or so until the leak stops. Its very thin and gets into the smallest of gaps.

Hi dawn mine leaked so bad untill i sealed up the slot in the roof, where it runs down to the windscreen, there is a slot each side on the roof, mine had a crack in the rubber in the slot, just used black silicone as my car is black anyway,just check with care and see if yours is cracked right at the front, in fack check it all both sides, mine is now dry since sealing it there,car was in garage for a week trying to find the leak they tested everthing, untill my son spotted the crack took him 30 seconds to find the leak, yet the garage gave up, worth a look regards john

Oooh, you know I looked at that and I thought it looked wrong, but I didn't think it could leak from there! Worth a bit of black silicone as my car is also black! Thank you!
