Hey all!
So over the course of the last year, I've been chasing a leak in my 2006 Ody EX. At first I thought I had an electrical issue, but then realized the real issue was that the driver's side fuse box was getting wet, and tracing it up, realized what was actually happening was water was coming down the cabling along the A pillar. I initially assumed it was from the sunroof and sealed that with silicone caulk... but it persisted.
I started removing trim on that driver's side A pillar and could actually see some drips coming in, so I took it to a windshield place. $80 later, they told me the windshield was on there fine, and it was a "body seam" leak. I applied some JB Weld to the seam there, just did a water test, and I'm still having water drip in from the top of that driver's side corner. The water I'm spraying is also right in this corner.
At this point, I'm just looking for a cheap fix - spray insulation, caulk, whatever. This isn't a daily driver and certainly isn't an heirloom vehicle. The engine is strong, but I am seriously considering junking it over this issue, as a minivan that can't be used in the rain is of marginal value to me. Any ideas would be appreciated.
