Leaking around windshield V70-XC70 1998

Our '98 V70 has sprung a leak! When it rains, water leaks/drips from the rear-view mirror. There is a little rust along the seam at the top of the windshield where the rubber windshield gasket (?) meets the metal. That seems to be the culprit. The windshield is an 11-year-old replacement. Any suggestions about how I might seal out the elements without causing damage? I was thinking of a bead of clear silicone caulking. Your thoughts are welcome!

Exactly what I did on my 1998. Lift the rear edge of the rubber, insert caulk gun tip, and put a bead from one side to the other. Mine was only missing about 24 inches!!! My wife complained about getting dripped on when ever it rained, and the plastic light covers filled with water.
