    Recently, after a heavy rain I noticed water coming down from roof area near rear view mirror.
    I think that is a broken seal on the upper side of the windshield. I tried to access area, but from outside the car I had no success. It appears that the upper mold is glued, but I am not sure, I was afraid to force it.
    From the inside, I don't know how to disassemble the map light assembly, and I am not sure if I can access area where the leak is.
    Anybody has some info on this? Or some detailed documentation?
    In the picture attached, with red arrow is the thing I called it "upper mold" Sorry if I am wrong.
    With green, it's the area where the water comes inside.

    This morning I discovered the exact location of leaking.
    I cleaned it very well with alcohol and applied a glass adhesive mastic.
    No need to call a glass company, it seems a job very easy to do.
    In attach pictures before and after applying mastic.
