Removing windshield trim
#16
Trim tool. Harbor Freight has a whole kit including that ^^^^^ one, for less than $10 IIRC.

My "don't bet on it" was in reference to it "being another battle" because it could be the current battle he is suffering.
Often times the water is getting in where you least suspect it.
OP should figure out WHAT is leaking before replacing the windshield with the assumption that it is the problem.

While I sincerely appreciate all the ideas, water is dripping from the very top of the windshield down onto the rear view mirror and also conveniently directly into the steering column’s key hole. I seriously don’t know how this could be a gutter leak. Unless the law of gravity has been repealed lately, the windshield is leaking. An extra bit of rubber door gasket fell off while I was taking the visor off. This will need to be replaced. This is below the gutter and is a problem that just showed up and has no baring on the current leak.
I currently have a sheet of plastic over the dashboard. If this is a gutter leak then I need to start buying lotto tickets.
I just want to reiterate. This is not some water leak I can’t find. This is a water leak that requires me to cover the steering column and have a spare towel to dry my legs, face, and dash when it rains. The visor has been removed and it’s holes have been sealed. The windshield is leaking.

Well, only YOU can determine where it is leaking. We're too fdar away.
This is the first I have seen where you are more specific on WHERE it is leaking.
You have all ready stated that 2 glass companies have told you that it IS NOT the windshield.
Have you tried the soapy water and air hose yet?

I’ve been trying to make some headway on my two current truck problems and neither can get my full attention. The leak problem is the most difficult and the most pressing. I’m going to take your soapy water advice. I’m not sure I can pull it off, but It can still theoretically work even in the rain.
