Windshield leak

I have a leak, long the top edge of my windshield, in one 9 inch spot I can see it has come loose from the urethane. What is the easiest way to seal this leak?

The local parts stores also sell a rtv for windshields that works ok. It's more runny than the regular stuff so it gets down in the crevices better.

On a hunch, I tried some waterproof caulk I had in My caulking gun, putting some where it was leaking. Went out this morning after we had 3.25 inches of rain, and it was completely dty inside. So I am good to go

Glad it worked. Rain is a good thing in my current state, OK, and my home state, KS. (In fact, it is raining in my home town, Ark City, and it is headed to us during the night.) But if it gets in these trucks it does bad things.
