Default water leak at windshield base...

Over from the allroad side... Water running into cabin filter box then to rear floor via A/C duct. Does the A4 have a tray bonded to the base of the windshield like the allroad? If so, what's the best adhesive to reattach that tray? Do you know what the original is? Adhesive or tape? Thanks, C.

Don't know about whether it is bonded, but I do know the drains in the "tray" at the base of the windshield clog up which results in water intrusion into the cabin. Primary culprit is the one under the ECU.

In our case, the tray is 80% detached from the windshield so water runs down the windshield directly onto the cabin filter. I need to reattach it but I want to do it right and use something better than just some old bathtub caulk... C.
