Tested with garden hose no leak but when it rains it leaks under the metal rim that is screwed to the frame. Don't really want to take out the glass anything I can do to help the problem |

I had the same problem with my Eagle 01. I found it by 'pressurising' the cabin. I went around closing all windows. There are no gaps in any plumbing or wires, all sealed with spray foam. The only leaks I had were around the doors. Used vinyl tape to seal. I put the preassure side of my large shop vac hose at the bottom of the doors and sealed it good. Turn on the vac, and you are preassurizing the bus interior. Now take some soapy water in a spray bottle and soak down the windshield and frame. Any leaks will show up as bubbles. |

check your marker lights where the wires go through the holes just above the driver seat |

Check the frame under the cap. It could be rust. Mine leaks over the passenger window ever so slightly during a rain or wash but I think I have a few screws missing... in the trim around the front cap!
Did "I" say that? LOL

Call it the roofer in me but also look a bit higher then the windsheild and the area that is leaking..most of the time a garden hose cant duplicate the weather conditions that make it leak. I'm a roofer by trade and it took me 2 months ( and an open frame diagram )to figure where a leak was comming in.
Look at the marker lights, any patrusion through the roof, antenna's, air units ( missing screws )..
if you ever have an intention to coat your roof in the suture do not use a silicon, most coatings and paints will not stick to it. A trypolimer is what you want, it stays flexible and is paintable
