The rubber seal curled up a bit from age. The storage pockets over front seats had water and cloth was discolored with a mildew smell. I pried the seal up a bit which exposed the opening. I squeezed some black sealant in the openings. I then opened up some safety pins and stuck them through the windshield seal to hold them in place till it dried. No more raindrops falling on my head. Just saying.

When I ran a shop, I used to get cars with that same complaint. The newer rope sealant installations aren't as bad as the rubber gasket but it still happens. The next time you have trouble, don't use black silicone. Oh, it works okay but not as well as "flowable" clear silicone windshield sealant.
