front windshield

well this mornin Iwent out to my truck to go grocery shopping and got in and on the dashboard was a lake. it had been raining all night and my window starting just flowing water in. it ever since ive had the truck. but it was like a dribble here and there. and sitting over night there might be a quarter size puddle on the dash. but this morning the whole area over the radio was full of water. and my radio is really fuzzy now over the speakers and sub. so 2 questions...

1. Should if i take the truck to a glass shop for them to reseal my window bout how much should it cost? if they break the glass will they replace it at no cost to me. as my window has 0 cracks or chips or any pitting.

2. should i pull out my radio and bring it inside and let it dry out? ill be super pissed if i end up needing a new radio.

A new one only cost me $125. see if they'll re-install it.

Take it in and ask them what they suggest. I'm sure they can simply put a new seal in. When I was in the glass shop a couple months ago having my windshield replaced, the guy there said the Ford trucks were bad about developing leaks around the glass. He pointed out the major trouble areas for me and told me if I had problems to bring it back and they'll reseal it.

yeah the 2 worse spots i know of. they have been in my 92 Flareside and my old 82 F100. they are above the rear view mirror and the worst one was on the top of the glass in front of the passenger side of the glass.
