Well, today we had a massive rain in my hometown and I was about and
driving my beloved van (1999 Chevy Venture). Suddenly I see drops of
water falling down from the roof in front of my eyes. I looked up and
saw that it was coming from the base of the overhead console at the
location closest to the windshield. Afterwards I checked the roof
from teh outside and can not see any holes or other cracks on the
roof. So how is it possible that the water flow into the overhead
console and eventually into the cabin? Seeing that there are other
chevy venture owners out there, I wonder if anyone encountered this
similar problem. How can you fixit?

Check the bolts for the roof rack, and also seams under weatherstrip for
side doors. One more possibility is the grommet for the liftgate wiring.

The windshield seal is probably leaking. If it was the rails it would be
dripping at the sides. You may have to take it to a glass shop and have them
reset your windshield.
