Default Windshield leak!

So the other day, I was running my '09 Jeep Unlimited through the car wash and I noticed a bunch of water on the inside of my windshield. Upon closer inspection, I can see a gap in the seal around the outside of the windshield. Anyone else had this problem?

just make sure its not a leak from the top and not the windshield mine has leaked a very small amount from the center over the radio area when going through the car wash in the past ... maybe a pic of the gap that you talking about so we can compare it to ours would help as well

When i had my windshield replaced "due to a crack from a stone" there was a 2 inch gap in the stock sealant around the glass. I asked the Tech if that's normal and he said "Every Dodge Ram pickup and Newer Wrangler windshield that I have replaced has a gap of some size in it!" he said it's not correct and will lead to a lot of rust problems down the road.

That is exactly what it is. Probably close to 2" and its on top probably 6" to 1' from the upper left corner. I am going to try and stop by the dealership pretty soon. The interesting thing is, I havent had any leak until last Saturday and I have a serious clean car obsession.
