It just doesn't seem logical that all that water could leak
from 1 screw.

It will! I don't have any pics, but its pretty self explanatory when you pull the wiper cowl off. There aren't many screws that go through metal, and those are the ones you want to seal up.

I looked at mine today, and I sealed up the two screws that hold the cowl down on that side, I didn't see any others unless I didn't look hard enough. Also found that the bottom screw of the drain was soaking wet. But that seems to be off from where it's leaking in my truck.

Alright I looked all around wiper and no screws... I'm so confused on how to get this thing fixed.

Do I have to take off the plastic black trim piece that lines the bottom of my windshield?

Yes you do. There are screws sunk into little holes in the cowl and there is a few on the inside edge of engine compartment.

Yeah I covered mine in sealant and still no luck last time we had a lot of rain. So I'll do it once more and go from there

Take them out and fill the holes with sealant, then reinstall the screws and cover them in sealant.
