Following up on the post I started two years ago , I've made progress but not totally stopped the leaking yet. A few days ago I reported finding small cracks in the "bondo" that seals the roof seam just forward of the front roof rack mounts. I sealed these with silicone caulking and tested again the following day. That test did not yield any leaking. I waited a day for everything to dry out and yesterday I replaced the small trim pieces and put more silicone on them before clipping them into place. I also gave each front roof rack mount a generous application of butyl rubber sealant.
Today was rainy. Not pouring, just a steady drizzle. My wife used the car for a twenty mile trip and had it out in the rain for about three hours. She reported a small damp spot, low down, on the right-side A pillar garnish. The dampness was gone by the time she got home, apparently having been dried out by the heater.
I put on a raincoat and took a hose to give both sides a thorough dousing. After about fifteen minutes the small damp spot on the right A-pillar appeared. It is very low and I don't know if this means that the leak is way down there or that this is where the water finally escapes from wherever it comes from. The first appearance of any leaking was back in early 2020 and it appeared high on the right A-pillar.
I've left the car outside and I'll check it again tomorrow morning to see if anything has changed.
