Unhappy Windshield leaks...

Noticed water dripping from the moulding around the drivers, and passenger A-posts, any idea as to how to go about fixing it?

thanks in advance...

You'll have to have a glass company reseal it before it takes out your fuse box and gem module.

Ultimately the windshield should be removed, and reseated. I found out the hard way that this problem is common in my years Exp'd & F-150. However it is possible to remove the hood cowling and add a bead of silicone caulking to the base of the windshield across the hood. You had better resolve this before a heavy rain drives enough water under the windshield to short out your General Ele. Module. Of which Ford inconveniently placed directly behind the IP and under the windshield.
Best possible resolve may be taking the unit to an Auto Glass shop and getting that windshield re-seated. I'm sure that any experienced Auto Glass shop has heard about this fault in the Ford Series Trucks.

Correcting the problem...

I found out that the windshield had been replaced and was not seated right. Called the company who installed it and they will replace it again with a new windshield at no cost. Pretty cool since it was done by the owner before me....
Thanks to all!!!
