You almost have to seal the whole the whole perimeter of the windshield 
since the water could be coming in from anywhere on the outside and 
them only seeping past the seat at the lowest point on the inside.

Sophy's did this when I would get caught in a down pour (even with the 
new WCM seal ... up until I started using Rain-X on the windshield.  I 
don't think the Rain-X sealed it....I just think it prevents the water 
from wetting the surface of the glass and getting under the seal.

Might be worth a shot.
