my windshield leaks right above my rearview mirror, drips down onto the mirror, then off the mirror and into my console. its a possibility yours leaks above the glovebox, drips down the pillar and into it or something..

Yeah, Ide just track it down, and see if you can repair it first. Then hit up a hardware store and grab a tube of windshield glue there (if they have them in a store near you) and patch it up.

Otherwise, Ide just get a new windshield.
Or some wormhole-be'gone

which ever is cheaper...

OH!! A clogged drain vent...under where your windshield wipers are...."THAT" place...
Umm...I dont really know how to describe it....

Just remembered this...from this happening to someones E30 I know. It wasnt necessarily the glove box....but it was water coming in from outside, that he didnt know where it was coming from...
He had a s*** ton of pine needles, leaves, gunk, all clogging the thing and it was just overflowing into the car.

hope this may help at least....???
