UPDATE: We went out this weekend, due to the great weather, and took a closer look at the windhsield. We think we've pinpointed where the rain was entering: Where the upper weatherstrip curved down to the side of the windshield. We caulked some voids at the corner, and cleaned out the drainage channels. We took down the overhead console (It does just snap out, it seems) and made sure the electrics are okay. I'll be keeping a close eye on the problem, and if this doesn't solve it, it seems we need to get it looked at professionally.

Thanks for the general advice for the car. Is the weatherstripping really that easy to damage? The stripping itself seemed solid when I inspected it, but there was a suprisingly washed-out spot above where the leak has been. As for pulling the light housing out, does it just pop out/in? I can't see any screws from the inside, but I'm afraid to just yank on it. As for the intake manifold and the engine pull information, thank you for the general advice. I'll have to write this down somewhere.

Recently, I got my first car, a 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport with 115,000 Miles (I know it's not the coolest Pontiac ever made). We just had a big rainstorm pass through, and the rain seems to have leaked through the windshield, into the housing for the interior lighting, and onto the floor. I fear this may effect the electrics at some point. We think that the rain is coming in through the part of the windshield that the antenna passes through, but we are not certain. What would be the best repair? We are considering caulking the upper edge of the windshield, and then inside the light housing, but if someone else has had this issue, and found a way to solve it, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance for any help or tips you guys can offer!
