Need help locating where the water is comming in from. I'm about to cut out and replace all the rusted metal at the base of the post and was wondering if someone could tell me the most likely place of water infiltration at the front post. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I start squirting sealant all over the front half of the bus.

The front and front/side marker lights, and the gutter screws,
are the most likely entrance for the rain. Seal all those areas
and use a garden hose for the proof.

I agree with John. I sealed and re-sealed my windshields and they still leaked. I removed the inside cap and found wet insulation around those lights. The rubber bases had dried and weren't sealing well. I ordered new ones from Luke (Mike, actually, but at the same place). That took care of my leaks. Good luck.
