Glue it down with windshield urethane adhesive, clean off the excess and tape it down overnight.

The actual seal of the windshield is the windshield adhesive itself. It is a bead of glue under the black frit band on the glass's outer edge. If this adhesive was done correctly, you could technically rip out the rubber molding completley and still have no leaks. As a matter of fact, a lot of new cars no longer have moldings at all. If you are leaking water through there, then there is a hole through the adhesive. If it's in the top corner, I suggest pulling off your a-pillar trim and pulling the headliner down a bit. You will see the glue when you look up in there and should be able to smear enough over the suspect spot to stop it. Just let it dry overnight before you high pressure wash it. Also, do not get the windshield adhesive on your headliner, seats, clothes etc., it is nearly impossible to get out of fabric.

DAMN this should be stickied for leak repair! Nice to have people post the correct way to do it... And i know about the adhesive on my seats... there is still a slight mark
