Leaking windshield

Just thought I would pass on info on what I found with my truck.
My truck would hiccup or die when it rained. I dont have any cracks and its the factory windshield. I thought maybe a bad CPS, so I replaced it with an international one- it still did it! Then one day after alot of heavy rain I noticed my husky floor matt was full of water. I reached under the dash and could feel water on the ECU. I took it to a windshield repair shop to see if they could reseal it. After 10 minutes they found that the drivers side had been leaking. When they repaced the windshield he said that it was one of the worst jobs he had seen!! Its been over a month with lots of rain and no more hiccups.

Lot of wiring and relays under there. I'd have it pulled and resealed. Not a bad job for someone that knows how.
