Got inside my truck yesterday and noticed water dripping from the top of the windshield. I think it's coming in through a cable from an aftermarket sirius antenna mounted to the roof. The installer fed the cable directly under the windshield weatherstripping to get inside.

I don't use sirius so I though about just removing the whole thing, but maybe an easier fix is to use some sort of silicon caulk or weather tight tape. Do they make something special for cars that bonds to metal and good for high speeds? Or just grab some window/door caulk at Home Depot?

If it were me, I'd remove the cable.

You might also want to get the windshield reinstalled. Depending on what the Sirius installer did, you may end up fighting a long battle just trying to patch things.
