I've taken the truck to body shops, three of them now. A specialty leak shop 150 miles away where I was completely ripped off. The good ol boy at this last body shop though showed me that it was my glass for sure that was leaking with nothing more than some soapy water and an air compressor. Good news I get to finally put my truck back together. My cowl has been in my living room for a few months now. The interior has been tore out now for at least a month. I've spent like a thousand dollars addressing just this issue. Hoping and praying everything goes well though tommorow. The glass is fine, gasket apparently not so much. I ordered the gasket from LMC and yes it has the trim piece. The water seems to be entering from the bottom left corner where the trim is.
