Mine was the windshield on my '98. It started as a small leak, and got worse. Finally it leaked so bad that it drowned the fuse block, and killed my battery. Had my cousin at Jack's glass replace it. Then it got crack by a rock two days later. I got that repaired by Safelite, because insurance covered that. It has been good. Take a flashlight when it is leaking, and look around the inside of the windshield. You should be able to see it. Mine was leaking right in the corner. By the way insurance won't cover a leak, only a break.
