Windshield leak. After a recent rain storm (April 2017), the passenger side carpeting was soaked. Took the car to my local Volvo dealership and they verified the windshield seal was leaking (unsound) at the top. They referred me to a local auto glass company who told me they have seen this on several Volvo's where the seal was not properly bonded at the factory. I have searched for recalls, bulletins, etc. But have not found any information regarding this defect. If in fact it is a factory deficiency I believe I should be reimbursed for the repair or replacement of the windshield.
