How to fix a leak on the dashboard
I am having my roof replaced thanks to hurricane Irma. I also have a leak that made my dashboard wet. I am assuming the rubber extruded seal above the windshield (on the outside) needs to be replaced...

Ditto on all the previous responses. I went through this on our MH. First the windshield and the rubber strip. The strip is just for looks. If you pull it off you'll see where the windshield should be sealed to the metal framework. I tried several times to seal the windshield without success. I finally bought some 3M trim adhesive. It's a rubber strip, like tape with adhesive on both sides. I attached that to the back side of the trim piece and reinstalled it. That sealed the trim piece to the front cap.
Still had a leak. Marker light gaskets were shot and previous owner had tried sealing around them with silicone. The water backed up inside the cavity the light assembly sits in and eventually went through the hole the wires come through. I made new gaskets, they're no longer available, from some EDPM weather stripping. No more leaks and it's been in multiple downpours.
