Potential Consequences:

I noticed water pooling on the driver side floor after it rained. I determined water was leaking in the drivers side window and streaming down to the floor and wetting the electrical components. An online search found others with a similar problem. It appears to stem from inadequate gaskets on the roof rails. All of my windows have water seeping in during rain. My concern is the electrical components getting wet. I found one example of corrosion that someone posted online.
