I don't know if mine leaks or not. Has not seen water since i installed it. Might just hose it down just to check for leaks.

They were closed, even though their website said they were open, but I did manage to get to talk with the owner. He said it's normal...That I have to let it sit in the sun for a few days and let the gasket mold to the windshield... Problem is I don't have a garage to put it in, to keep it out of the rain that we get DAILY. It's going back to them on Monday and they're going to keep it in the sun for a few days and put it in their shop if it rains and overnight. If it still leaks in a couple days, they're going to glue it. For now, it's inside a friend's shop, out of the weather. Ugh.
