[A/S] Front window leaks



Based on a previous thread it looks like this is a common problem, 
yet no one mentioned what they tried to do to solve it and whether or 
not that worked.

I have a '79 International with the notorious front window leak.  
Checking it with a garden hose proves that the leak is at the front 
windows and not the Airstream letters or marker lights, which can 
also be a problem.

I used a lot of Par Bond sealant around the windows, suspect wrap 
window gaskets, and splines between front and side wrap windows.  
This has helped considerably, but I still get a small dribble in on 
top of the curb side battery box.

I've also sealed everything from the window sill on down, but still 
have that mystery leak.

I'd like to hear more form people who have attepted to find and seal 
this leak, and what results they have gotten.
