This is caused by a poor seal around the windshield. I have two '97's and they both did it. The mechanic at the dealership knew exactly what it was when I described the symptom. It is a well-known and easily solved problem, either by re-sealing the windshield or replacing the seal. colin hobbs <chobbsnopsamst.com> wrote: >Susan L Weschler wrote: > >> I just subscribed to this newsgroup.
