There is at least a 1/4 X 1/4" gap, margin, space under the black rubber trim around the perimeter where the body meets the glass. The gappage is even larger at the bottom center. I did not see a drain therefore there is always some water under the trim, especially at the bottom which I still think is odd. I'd like confirmation on lack of a drain.


If you can goober some silicone RTV in there you may stop the leak. Better yet, there is a low viscosity liquid I saw at an auto parts store sold for for sealing windshield leaks. First confirm that it is a windshield leak. If you use the liquid seal, pour it in about 6" above the corner. Getting it dry first will be a problem. The rubber trim is firmly adhered to glass and just laying tight on the body. Good luck.
