If your boat is like mine, it is leaking through the windshield pass through door opening and running along port side edge of the boat until it puddles on the seat. Mine also runs along the starboard side edge and puddles on the floor in front of the captain's chair. I complained about this to my dealer (while the boat was still under warranty) and they told me that this was common on the Sundancers and there was really nothing they could do to totally stop leaks at the windshield door, due to the door being constantly opened and closed. If anyone has any great tips on how to overcome this, there is a green ball coming your way!

I built a little wall using clear silicone to help funnel the water out the opening at the bottom of the windshield. Only had the problem on the starboard side.

thats exactly whats occuring re the puddling up. On the silicone where did you run the wall - did you put it under the walk through window? or in the jam?
