Description of the problem	During heavy rain water enters the vehicle through the roof causing leakage to occur through the maplights and front pillars. The car has been in to the shop three times - the dealer has "sealed a body seam", "reseated the windshield" and "could not duplicate" the leak however, when it was brought in, water was dripping and they did acknowledge that it was due to some kind of leak. After a lengthy talk to the service manager after the third visit, he indicated that he had never seen this before but found a "tech tip" indicating that the roof did leak. After searching the internet, it certainly seems that i am not alone with this problem.
