Water running down inside of windshield

I have a 06 sun voyager and sealed the daylights out of the roof and even the windshield it's self. But small streams of water run down the inside of the windshield. I think it may be condensation in the top nose cone, has anyone else had this problem before?

Yes, it you do not control the high humidity in the coach, the moister in the air will condense on cold surfaces. I found my cap had insulation knocked off when CB and Radio antennas were installed.

I noticed it once, I believe it was condensation but I did check above on the roof, and I did reseal the clearance lights. I haven't had it again. Not sure if it was or wasn't the lights. Good luck on finding it.

We always leave one or two roof vents open an inch or two. It controls the moisture in the coach especially when we are using heat.

Mine was a hairline crack in a clearance light. I "fixed" many things before I realized where the issue really was.

Is it raining when the water goes down the windshield?

Just looking at the clearance lights might not be enough. It took my repair guy (and yes, I felt he was very good) 3 tries to get mine sealed. He finally took them off and re-sealed, didn't realize that the ones on my Newmar were actually 3 separate parts, once he did that and sealed them, it has never leaked again. (he only charged me the once, did the next two tries free).

It was funny, only if the rain was wind driven or I drove after a rain did the water drip in.

So if first you don't succeed, try, try again.
