Most just bite the bullet - pull / reseal the windshield, then they are done with it.

Take it to a body shop and get it fixed properly. Local shop here did it for ~$400 including windshield. Leaks are gone.

yes....winsheild resealing is what i was going with yrs ago. i got a feeling its running along door rubber and theres a indentation right at the rounding bend top of door,upper corner lets say. it was a SOAKER that day all day...like running a hose constantly on "that" area.

i can see separation on body trim. theres seems to be a steel liner/trim there. gotta look good. gonna seal guys.

still...this water hits what, fuse box correct? what other computer under there that i replaced when this chit hit me for $500 yrs ago??

txs all....

I took mine to a glass repair shop. I originally thought it was the sunroof. It wasn't. They checked the windshield and said it just about popped off. It was hardly sealed at all. They tried to reseal it but broke the windshield. It still only cost less than $300. No more leaks.

CONCUR !

But you need to go one step further because of your previous band aid repair. Get your glass installer to coordinate with a local body shop. Remove the windshield. Have the body shop repair and repaint any corrosion in the channel. Replace the windshield.
