    First you need to STOP going to Freightliner for engine problems and go to a Detroit dealer instead.

    Which windows leak? Windshield? Are they glued in? If they've been replaced, the shop may have used the wrong urethane for the ambient temp at time of the work being done.

    Where does the cabin leak? At or near the visor or market lights if no visor? Or elsewhere?


    Windshields need to be replaced by a competent shop.

    Seems to me the 2009 Cascadia I drove had a windshield leak and a problem with the wiring harness. Any motor work should be done by a Detroit Diesel shop. Freightliner sucks for warranty work.
     
    Freightlinerbob Thanks this.
